[QUOTE="Brine, post: 148172, member: 1053"] I've now learned that there are two kinds of angle available. Naturally, the one I used (which was suggested to me from the Metal Retailer) had the radius. On the bright side, I guess I did use the one designed for Structural support though. [img]https://blog.onlinemetals.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/aluminum-angle-group-labeled-300x300.jpg[/img] 6061 angle has rounded corners and is generally used for structural applications where strength is important. 6063 angle has sharp corners and is generally used where surface finish is more important than strength. 6063 is often called architectural aluminum for two reasons - first, it has a surface finish that is far smoother than the other commercially available alloys, and second, its strength is significantly less ([b]roughly half the strength of 6061[/b]), making it suited for applications where strength is not the foremost consideration.
