My journeyman insisted I use a 1/4-inch roundover bit on every exposed plywood edge, but after a year of chipping, I'm switching back to a 45-degree chamfer.
He said it was the 'professional finish' for our shop in Boise, but the roundover catches on everything and chips out far more often than a simple chamfer, so has anyone else found a better edge treatment for pre-finished maple ply?

Right? What even is the point of a roundover on plywood? @brooke767 is spot on, it's just a chip magnet. Chamfers are way more durable for shop stuff.

So the professional finish is basically a built-in snack trap for wood chips? Sounds like your journeyman owes you a new bit.
