if the edges of the bat are square and the ball hits it the wood is likely to split.

so u roll the edges of the bat so its not 90 degrees makes edges look smaller but prevents cracks from happening!

Rob pack does it with a bone

I've always used a wooden bat mallet to round the edges using much light tapping. Seems to work.
