Remember this!
Bevel and chamfer are synonyms that both refer to creating a slanted or angled edge or surface on an object. However, there are some differences between them. A bevel is a slanted edge or surface at a 45-degree angle, commonly used in woodworking and glasswork for decorative purposes or to create a smooth transition between surfaces. On the other hand, a chamfer is an angled cut or edge on a corner or edge of an object, often used in metalworking and carpentry to remove sharp edges or corners for safety or aesthetic reasons.
