Hautau has been an expert in the tube cutoff systems field for decades, so we use terms like “beveling” and “chamfering” as if they’re our second language. When companies like us describe our specialized equipment and its use in our industry, it can sound confusing to someone not in our field. We know the ins and outs of rotating head cut off machines, tube cutting and chamfering machines, and beveling, but it can be a complete mystery to others. If you’re interested in learning more about these terms, or even trying to explain the industry to someone on the outside, check out our guide below.

What’s the Difference Between Bevel and Chamfer?

The terms “bevel” and “chamfer” are very similar, and regularly used together. Bevel is defined by Dictionary.com as “the inclination that one line or surface makes with another when not at right angles, a surface that does not form a right angle with adjacent surfaces.”

Meanwhile, a chamfer is “a symmetrical sloping surface at an edge or corner,” according to Oxford Languages. One of the interesting parts of defining chamfer is that many places, like Merriam-Webster, use the term “bevel” when describing a chamfer. This shows how sometimes the two terms are interchangeable.

At Hautau, we use both terms, and describe our machinery as “tube beveling and chamfering machines.” We make sure that customers and anyone using our machinery completely understand what they’re working with, hence the reason we include both terms.
