A taper down into a hole is a chamfer. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gary Crowell Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2014 11:19 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Chamfered PCB I think it's gotten a little crossed up in what we're talking about. There's the chamfer: _ / \ / \ cross section of board edge view | | And the chamfer: _____ \ \ top view of board corner | | I've looked, but never seen a good definition that provides a distinction between the two. And what's a bevel? FWIW, I''ve always called the first a bevel, and the second a champfer.
