Step 1:Turn your frame so that it is up side down withthe clip channel facing the fence.

Step 2:Determine the number of cuts needed to make theradius. To help determine how far apart the saw cutsshould be, and how many cuts to make, use thefabricator formula below:

1 - Take the outside perimeter of the radius (OPR) andsubtract the inside perimeter of the radius (IPR). Thisgives the amount of frame (F) to be removed.(OR - IR = F)2 - Divide the above amount (F) by the thickness ofthe saw blade (S). This will give the number of sawcuts. (C). (F : S = C)3 - Divide the outside perimeter radius (OPR) by thenumber of saw cuts (C). This is the distance neededbetween saw cuts (D). (OR : C = D)

Step 3:Mark the cut locations on the frame. Be sure to leave6 - 8” on either end of the rolled radius. This will allowfor smooth transitions into straight sections.

Step 4:Raise saw blade so that when you pull the bladethrough the frame, the back return is not cut.(Raise the blade approx. 1/8” to 3/16”)

Step 5:Cut frame at first mark, repeat cut at each mark untilyou have made a cut at each mark.

NOTE: Center to Center Cuts are rounded to the nearest 1/16”. Cuts may or maynot touch when achieving the desired radius. The built in tolerance allow foradjustment to the radius.

Assembly Instructions:

Step 6:Insert a 1” x 1/8” x (by length of corner framesection),strap of aluminum into corner angle slotof the Flat Bleed Retro Frame bottom only. (See “E”)

Step 7:Form the frame to the radius. Once the desiredradius is achieved, tack weld the strap to the frame.This will hold the radius. (See “F”)

Step 8:Place radius on cabinet or steel frame work. Attachthe frame to the cabinet or steel frame work. Onceyou have secured the frame to the cabinet or steelframe work, stitch weld the bottom of the frame tothe 1/8” aluminum as required.(Note: Significant integrity is restored to theframe by stitch welding the strap to theframe.) (See “F”)

Step 9:Installation of the radius corner frame is nowcomplete. Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining corneror corners.
