of Chamfer
A chamfer 'breaks' a sharp edge. eg. after drilling a hole, it is normal practice, especially after drilling in metal to chamfer the edge. eg. chamfers can be made to the edges of prepared wood to prevent the edge breaking away, or causing splinters. Generally the most common form of chamfer is one of 45º
