• RADIUS TOOL

    Posted by ruth on February 25, 2003 at 1:27 pm

    Hi,

    Anybody out there know where I can get a radius tool/machine/press for sensible money. I want to be able to cleanly and easily nip the corners off aluminium plates 2mm thick.

    Thanks in advance

    not sure if it sensible money adrian but they are great things to have.
    we had a small one, cost about £40 12 years ago.. so it may be reasonable priced nowadays compared to then…

    like i said.. very very handy things to have if you do lots of small signs. we used ours always for health and safety signs..

    Thanks for that Adrian, that is exactly the machine I require. It is however not the sort of money I was after. I was hoping to get a machine for less than £200, any more ideas…..anybody???

    Any second hand machines? If so please call me 01437 563 937.

    you could use my old high tech method!

    copyright of course but i will allow you to experiment! 😉

    take a 10p & put it in the corner… draw round it. follow the pen mark with jigsaw & then file it… 😉

    😆 😆 😆 sorry just pulling your leg..
    i have kept my eye out for these for a while. i did check them out on that site months ago and thought they maybe a bit pricey but still better looking than the one i used to have…

    i think those are from the states yet sold here.. 🙄

    You wont get a new machine to cut 2mm ally for the sort of money you want to spend Ramjam, your best bet is to check out the auction sites and place a wanted add on e-bay and similar sites.
