There isn't one. Radius is a noun, and despite the use of the word radius in machining and fabrication as if it were a verb, it remains a noun. It is improper use of the word to ask someone to "radius an edge", but this doesn't stop people using the words as if it were a verb. What typically ought to be asked for is that a radius be put on the edge. So, not "Go and radius that edge on the bench grinder." but instead "Go and put a radius on that edge with the bench grinder."
