Where would *round* bevelers be useful?

[AEBL]

I had a stamp that I was having a hard time identifying. Originally, I thought it was an R244 ... but it is a B244. A round, smooth-faced beveling tool. I'm having trouble understanding why I couldn't just use a regular (rectangular-ish) bevel.

To save someone having to look the tool up, here's a link:

When I saw a Tandy announcement for them about 30 years ago I was there every day for a week to see if they came in yet. They really improved my floral and oak carving at the time.

Smooth ones are good for inside curves, like the scallops on leaves. mild undercut effect if you tip them. 

They used to make checkered ones also, somebody still might. Good for cleaning up the slicking effect from smooth undercutters or petal lifters against a checkered background. I like those a lot for inside curves on oakleaves especially. You can just hold them vertically in one spot and turn slowly while tapping. You can do a 180 degree bevel pretty fast and smoothly. It is hard to do that even with really narrow regular bevelers without leaving chatter marks.

There's another type of beveller I shall have to acquire. Might see about rounding some square ones

I’ve got them in old sets predating Craftools. They were just different diameter rod with the end cut at an angle and then knurled.

could go ahead and checker them too

If you had some checkered ones I would be interested.  I started using a lifter in my oak leave and the slicking bothers me, tried to clean it up with a small bevel with no luck.

I'll start with plain smooth I think. I have plenty of cheap bevellers spare
