What Is Chamfering?
Chamfering is a machining process that rounds off the corners and edges of materials.
Various methods exist, including manual techniques and mechanical machining, allowing for the chamfering of external, internal, or both ends of corners and edges. This process serves to prevent injuries, avoid burrs and chipping, enhance the smoothness of material surfaces, and improve the strength of joints.
Manual chamfering is suitable for small-scale processing and intricate shapes. On the other hand, machine-based chamfering is effective for mass production and high-precision machining. The chamfering angles vary for external, internal, and both ends, with common angles being 45 degrees, 30 degrees, and 30 degrees, respectively. These angles are selected based on the application and intended purpose.
