Chamfering: What It Is and What It Does
Also known as beveling or chamfering milling, chamfering is the process of cutting away a small portion of material from the edge of a workpiece. The cut is usually made at an angle, and the resulting surface is known as a chamfer. By doing so, the two-dimensional chamfer develops a series of gentle angles creating a smooth surface. It is commonly used to prepare the edges of a workpiece for welding or brazing.
