Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Counter Clipping
I understand the following is the best tool, but not sure I want to be into this to the tune of $40.
www.amazon.com/Radius-Corner-Rounder-Punch-Cutter/dp/B008CG7D1S
Can anyone suggest a better, more economical clipping solution? I'll need the process to be good for both larger counters (say, Warriors of God) and smaller (think Swords and Sorcery).
Looking for good suggestions for a beginner.

I don't think there is a better way.
It still requires some focus to make things are even but the counters come out looking good. I hold them upside down so I can make sure the corner is aligned by looking in the ejection hole.
I have used them on many different size counters. The big and small ones from Combat Commander for instance.
$36 bucks sounds like a lot and it probably is if you don't have a large quantity of counters you want to clean up. But if you've got several high counter density games and plan on clipping, they are worth it.
Otherwise, stick with the nail clippers. They work as well as anything else.

Google "Scrapbooking corner clipper" to get what you need.
Here's a nice 20$ unit: www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/We-R-Mem...XJLVETU&searchidx=13
This one's bad ass, actually. It has removable dies for 1/4" or 1/2" radius.

Some go with the 352VS 8-amp, but seriously, that's overkill.

Pfft, anybody who doesn't use a band saw to clip counters isn't doing it right. The bigger the tool, the better it works, everybody knows that.
