Purchased some 1/4" triangle stones from Congress for the Sharpmaker. And of course, they don't just "plug and play", looks like the corners need rounding off a bit to fit. Is there an EASY way to accomplish this, without overdoing it? Or do I need to break out the DMT stones and get busy by hand?

All of the congress stones I ordered recently fit mine, but I think I have an older sharpmaker as I can fit a Smith's Diamond sharpening rod from Walmart into mine without issue. I would think a cinder block or aggressive metal file would take the corners down on these quickly. Which ones did you get? I bought some Ruby and Moldmasters.
Ruby and I think EDM's were the other ones. They looked just like the Edge Pro stones. I might, probably should have this time, try the Moldmasters if this works out.
Also, they were 1/2 inch stones too, not 1/4 inch.
Thanks, I'll try a file first and see what happens.
