How to smooth out union/part corners?

You should just negate a cylinder with a smaller cylinder inside of it there is really no way to fix this.

CSGs have a smoothing angle property. I would suggest using a meshpart and apply smooth shading instead though.

Introducing SmoothingAngle property for PartOperation (Enabled Globally)

CSG v1 allows for corners/edges where you union to be smoothed out, while CSG v2 chooses to keep them sharp. Both cases have their use. So we decided to release a new beta Studio feature to allow you to control it with a new property of PartOperation. To use this feature, you must go to File → Beta Features in Studio and enable this: [announce] PartOperation(s) now will have a “SmoothAngle” property (see the screenshot below) that allows you to specify an angle in degrees. Changing the angle …

Or build it in Blender (it’s free and not that difficult to learn when you search for tutorials) and you can keep whichever edges you want Sharp and Smooth the others to make it look perfect!
