Rounding off a corner

[ScottM]

I have some 1/4" x 1" pieces of various lengths that I need to round one corner of. I can take them to my spindle sander but there must be a better way. They do not have to exact but close. I have about 50 pieces to do. Because of the various lengths it would not have been simple to round off the boards before ripping. Any suggestions?

So 1/4" thick and 1" wide and various lengths? Kinda like a bunch of paint stir sticks? I would just stack 3 or 4 together and use my disc sander. Use one as a template and mark the curve with a pencil and sand to match.

A template with a flush trim router bit or flush trim sanding drum you can put in a drill press.

I agree w/ Allan. Disc sander. Depending on the radius you like, you can use a coin, washer, socket, etc., as a template.

Assuming you are rounding over the ends. Router table and a sled. Same as you would for cope and stick cabinet doors.

Another vote for the disk sander. You could make a fancy pivoting holder so they would all be uniform.
