A chamfered edge is a straight, beveled flat that replaces a sharp 90° corner. In practice, it’s a small planar surface cut at a specific angle—most commonly 45°, but 30° and 60° are also standard options in our range.
Visual Profile
Imagine a cube’s sharp edge: a chamfer trims that corner into a neat, flat facet. On holes, a chamfer creates a clean lead-in around the rim; on external edges, it softens the corner to prevent burrs and improve fit and finish. In Erix Tool’s program, both back and front & back chamfers are standard operations, so the beveled flat can be produced on either side of a through-hole.
Typical Angles We Supply
Erix Tool offers chamfered edges at 45°, 60°, and 30° as standard (other angles available on request). These angles define the slope of the flat facet relative to the part face.
Examples in the Catalog
- Back chamfering 45°: Creates a 45° bevel on the far side of a hole—i.e., “behind” the entry surface—so the edge appears as a crisp, symmetric flat around the hole’s exit.
- Front & back chamfering 45°: Produces matching beveled flats on both sides of a hole for a uniform, deburred rim.
How Erix Tools Produce That Look
Our automatic back-chamfering tools consist of a spindle and a folding wing cutter. The wing closes to pass through the hole and swings out to cut the chamfer on the far side, forming that clean beveled flat precisely and repeatably.
The catalog sections labeled Back Chamfering 45° / 60° / 30° list the exact tool sets for the angles described above.
Why Use a Chamfered Edge
Chamfers remove burrs, ease assembly, and provide lead-ins for fasteners or seals—key tasks grouped in our core operations: CHAMFERING and DEBURRING. The visual result is a tidy, intentional flat that improves both function and appearance.
Conclusion
A chamfered edge looks like a precise, flat bevel that replaces a sharp corner—most often 45°, but also 30° or 60° in our standard program.
