I'm looking for a corner cutter for alupanel, something to put on a say 15mm radius, can anybody suggest where id find such a thing.. ill follow up any leads however hopefully a fellow Aussie has some local ones

How about a lassco corner rounder?
Or do a google with just corner rounder.

I just bought one last week to do a 196 sign blank order. I saw it at a trade show 6 years ago and finally could justify it. http://www.accucutter.com/. This is a high quality piece of equipment.

I'll second on the Accu-Cutter. I looked seemingly forever and finally bought a POS Lassco, then unloaded it on Fleabay. It was a cheap piece of junk, well it wasn't cheap in cost >$150, but in construction.

The Accu-Cutter we got was this one:

It is very well made, machined aluminum. The only real issue I have with it is the "throat" is of limited height, presumably to keep morons from trying to cut 1/4" steel. However, I am a big boy and it irks me that I can't cut corners on Coroplast because it won't fit in and it comes so close. It could also benefit from some sort of attachment for the die, every time I pick it up the die falls out.

On PVC, Polymetal, aluminum it does a good job though. Heck we even use it on photo paper now and again. We went with the 1" radius.

We purchased directly from the manufacturer and paid a hair over two bills.

we use a lassco corner rounder for alot of things and it works great.

I can't remember the real name of it ( arbor press?)but we used to use a small bench top press that worked on a lever system to notch pipe for roll cages a few years back.

We have an AccuCutter and I will be buying another one very soon !

The one we had, briefly, was a tin cigar box with a plastic top and pressed metal handle.

Actually it looks like Lassco makes some heavier ones but this is the one we had:

[Craig Perry]

How much and who from?

 

[Dave Drane]

Hi Craig, Who did you buy it from? With the $Au value against the greenback I would like to buy one too. Thanks for any info..

 

[S'N'S]

Craig, does the one you bought have different dies to cut different radius corners.
Cheers Gary

purchased with the 1/2" round corner die for now.. you can get different ones.. the die was almost twice as the press itself.. i know for a fact this thing will pay for itself in no time, signs look much more professional..

I just wish i bought this thing years ago.. now im sounding like some sales guy...

 

[Dave Drane]

Thank you very much Craig. It was under my nose all the time, as I already have an account with O'Briens due to the engraving side of my business. Thanks for sharing mate!!
