I'm trying to make a template to cut the corners of a small solid box on my pin router. I can cut the box to shape 4x6 easily on my RAS but I'd like to take it a step further and pop it into a template jig to round the corners (don't like pointy sharp corners:)). Anyways, I had an idea and it didn't quite work. See below:

Is there a way to accomplish what I'm shooting for? I suppose I could flip an actual 4x6 box on end and use a 1/4" round over on each corner and use that as a template but I don't like the possible danger there. And beyond that I'd like to learn something. Any ideas that would work?
this is going to be an enclosure for an overdrive pedal (for guitar) that I'm going to try to produce.
What I was trying to do was round the edges of the box. I would attach it to the back of the template and route the 4 corners. What I ended up with is the inside just has 4 square corners. In other words, I didn't accomplish anything:(
thanks in advance!!
