What Is The Difference Between A Bevel And A Chamfer?

A beveled edge is a angled surface that is created when two planes meet at an angle other than 90 degrees. It is typically used to create a smooth transition between two surfaces that are not at the same level. A chamfer is a beveled edge on a piece of material, usually at a 45 degree angle, that is created by cutting away a corner. It is often used to remove sharp edges or to create a decorative edge on a piece of material. Both a bevel and a chamfer can be created with a variety of tools, including hand tools and power tools such as a chamfer bit or a bevel tool. The main difference between the two is the angle at which they are cut and the purpose for which they are used.
