Applications in steel construction

The four-way corner rounding tool rounds off the corners of plates and flat bars in a single operation. It is used in the punching machine or press to remove sharp edges from gusset plates, connection plates and base plates. Thanks to the four-way design, workpieces can be machined at several corners without time-consuming repositioning.

Typical applications

  • Rounding the corners of gusset plates and connection plates in structural steelwork
  • Removing sharp edges from base and head plates prior to galvanizing or coating
  • Preparing plates for railings, stairs and grating
  • Series production of identical plate blanks with a uniform corner radius
  • Machining flat bar and plate parts where sharp corners are to be avoided

Which businesses use it

The tool is used in structural steelwork, metalworking, locksmithing and sheet metal fabrication, where plates and flat bars are prepared for connections and add-on parts.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the corners of plates rounded in structural steelwork?

Rounded corners remove sharp edges, improve handling of the parts and ensure a uniform coating thickness during hot-dip galvanizing and coating. In addition, radii reduce the notch effect on loaded connection plates.

What does the four-way design mean?

The four-way design makes it possible to machine several corners of a workpiece without having to set the part up again for each individual corner. This shortens the machining time for identical plate blanks.
