Bevels are angled cuts or edges made on a surface or material to give it a specific shape or design. There are a variety of synonyms for the word bevels, depending on the context and industry. For carpentry and woodworking, bevels are often called miters, which are angled cuts made on the end of a board. In metalworking, the term bevel can be replaced with chamfer, which is an angled cut or edge on a metal surface. In glass cutting, a bevel can be referred to as a facet, while in architecture and construction, it is known as a sloped or angled edge. Whatever the industry may be, bevels or their synonyms are an important process in achieving a specific design or shape.
