Is there a specific tool for putting a neat radius on the edge of steel?

Or is it just a case of doing your best with a Dremel and hoping the finished product looks good?

How thick is the metal?
Can you not draw file it? Then finish with emery cloth.

What thickness materail and how big a piece? How good (accurate, uniform) does it have to be?

A dremel in my opion is the wrong tool - too small and difficult to control. You will have the most control with a hand file.
Otherwise run a flex back sanding disc on an angle grinder along the edge.

Cheers guys!

I have it on good authority that a decent putting on file can develop a very nice curved edge Not tried it myself though.

The right tool is as below, you can see some dicussion here

If it's sheet metal, use a wired or beaded edge:

You can try using a Dynafile I get excellent results with them. Available in air operated and in elect versions.

Have look at Dynafile / Dynabrade Mini Air Belt File Sander Linisher | eBay
