A chamfer as a beveled edge of a hole, frequently (but not always) cut at a 45° incline to the 'normal' surface.

The chamfer is USUALLY used to allow the head of a screw or bolt to sit below the surface (i.e. a flush fit), rather than sticking out.

It is also used when performing a 'deburring' operation; running a small cutting tool around the perimeter of a hole (especially in metalworking) to remove any sharp edges or splinters. In this case, the chamfer is non-functional, it is just a result of the deburring operation.

A large chamfer can also be created to provide a 'lead-in' for a screw or bolt; these are usually much larger and deeper, and are cut at a 60° angle, rather than 45°.
