Bevel
A bevel is a type of cut, usually a carpentry term for timber cuts or mouldings but also used to describe other shaped materials. It is an angle cut but not a right angle cut, often at 45 degrees and described as a bevelled edge. It differs from a chamfer, in which a second cut removed the remaining corner after a bevel cut creating two plains around the 90-degree corner lengthways.
