I'm looking to renovate a couple of garden benches by replacing the slats. These are wide benches so the standard kits of slats are not long enough.
I have some hardwood planks that are suitable but would need to have the edges rounded.
I can't believe nobody else has suggested it - Angle Grinder! In this case with a sanding disk. I find this combination a much-underrated woodworking tool, for outdoor woodwork at any rate.
Very useful, but entirely the wrong tool for rounding board edges. Unless you really don't give a dry brown thing how they look.

I've had some very good results. But I quite understand if you don't want to try it.
I'm not the OP. Perhaps the OP could get a good result with an ag & sanding disc, but I've enough experience of disc sanding & ags to think the odds of that low.
