Description
For this challenge, you will round the corners of your practice material using a radius gauge and a hand file. Using a Radius Gauge with the 1.5mm convex (or outer circle) section, draw the corner radius lines on the four corners of the motor mount. To do this, place the 1.5mm radius gauge and line it up with the corner of the motor mount, and draw the curve with a marker.
Use the drawing provided to...
