I have an aluminum part that is shaped like a picture frame. It is 12
inches square and inch thick. It has a 1/2'x1/2" rebate (where the
picture would go if it were a picture frame). Two cutters were used to
make the rebate. The finish cut was made with a larger diameter
cutter(1") than previous cuts (1/2"), and to maintain the smaller
corner radii, the final cut left a small area in the corners that
protrudes above the finished surface by as much as .015 to .020.

What would be a good way to rework some of these parts without sending
them to a machine shop? Could I use a laminate trimmer or router with
some kind of end mill?



I don't advocate this, and don't tell anyone I recommended it in any way,
shape, or form, but...
