More info found on-line...
“Square-cornered playing-cards of course will show no signs of having been trimmed in this way; but those with rounded corners are bound to do so, however slight a shaving may have been removed from the side. In trimming these for cheating, therefore, the sharp has to employ, in addition to the shears, what is called a ‘round-corner cutter.’  This is an instrument which restores the circular form of the corners, which otherwise would show the point at which the shears cut through them.  It is simply a sort of punch, which cuts the corners, one at a time, into their original shape, and gives them the proper curve.”
