Both the terms, bevel and chamfer are used in various fields like carpentry and metalwork. The reason behind that why they are used interchangeably is that both of them refers to the edge of the surface that is not perpendicular to the face of the object. Chamfer is the cut made in metal, wood or any other material, this cut is usually made at the 45°angle and is tend to break sharp edges and to give finished appearance. The cut at the 45° angle is made to the adjacent principal faces, on the other hand, Bevel is the cut made in an object to from any other angle than a right angle, it forms a sloping edge between two principal faces.

On the other hand, Bevel is the cut made in an object to from any other angle than a right angle, it forms a sloping edge between two principal faces.
To get a chamfer edge, the tools like chamfer mills and chamfer planes are used, on the other hand to get bevel edge, bevel tools are used.
The interior of the chamfer formed is of an octagonal shape, whereas the interior of bevel formed is of rhombus shape.

Bevel is a more popular term than the chamfer, although they are vastly used interchangeably but bevel is the more adapted or professionally used term. The edge or cut made in the structure of the object that is not perpendicular to the faces of an object is referred as the beveled edge or beveled cut. Beveled cut is preferred as it breaks sharp edges and gives finished appearance. The softening of the edges at tables and other households is the biggest example of beveled edge. The beveled edges makes the object wear resistance or it is done even for the sake of aesthetics. The beveled edges of glass table and the mirrors are the best examples of beveled edges as if they would have sharp edges they might give some serious harm. Even many of the cutting tools are beveled edge, apparently they doesn’t seem to be of that shape but when one examines the grind, it can easily be noticed. The implementation of the bevel edge concept can be widely seen in daily life, other than that this concept also have vast usage in different sports and have importance with respect to geology.
Chamfer is the cut made in metal, wood or any other material, this cut is usually made at the 45°angle. The term chamfer is widely used in the fields of manufacturing and mechanical engineering. The full chamfered object gives quite the totally different shape and makes the difference between the bevel and chamfer quite prominent as the interior of chamfer seems to be of octagonal shape. To get a chamfer edge, the tools like chamfer mills and chamfer planes are used. The chamfer edge or cut is used for both, aesthetic and non-aesthetic purposes. The edge or cut formed with chamfer not going to the end of the piece but lifts out in a smooth curve is called a larks’ tongue.
