Let me first state that I've read the rest of this thread (as of this
date) and know my answer is not what you're looking for.

This description (above) leads me to describing how I figure out the
appropriate method for creating a shape.  If I were creating a cube
that I wanted to look like it had the corners knocked off with a
grinder, I tend to create the cube, then use a CSG difference to
remove the parts the grinder took away.  In other words, I try to
create the effect of the manufacturing process.

I'd create the cube, then create my imaginary grinding wheel.  Then
I'd use a CSG difference (or maybe a few thousand...) to remove the
corners.
