What is the shape of surfaces created during chamfering?

The surfaces created during chamfering are characterized by a beveled shape. Chamfering involves cutting away the sharp edge or corner of a workpiece to create a sloped surface that transitions between two perpendicular faces. This bevel not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the part but also improves safety by removing sharp edges that could cause injury. The angle and width of the chamfer can vary depending on the design requirements, but the defining feature remains the sloping surface that distinguishes chamfered edges from sharp or right angles. The other options do not accurately describe the specific geometry associated with chamfering: rounded surfaces suggest a smooth, continuous arc, flat surfaces are level and even without taper, and curved surfaces imply a more gradual convex shape rather than a linear edge treatment.
