Members Daggrim Posted February 8, 2009 Members Report Posted February 8, 2009 I edge bevel my helmet frames, but there are lots of inside right angle corners which I can't get to. How do you do it? I've tried using my exacto, but it's easy to make an ugly corner that way. Dag Quote

I know it aint easy but...I angle the blade to just nip of enough of the edge and it seams to work fine and after burnishing you can't tell the difference.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 8, 2009 Moderator Report Posted February 8, 2009 To end up with a flat bevel I use a small french edger. For a rounded edge I use a round bottom edger with the open toe design. I don't make a lot of totally square inside corners. I punch the corners with a small drive punch first, and then cut out from there. It makes it easy to get in there with a small dowel to slick that corner. The round bottom or bent tip edgers will go right around a corner punched with a pretty small drive punch.
