If two workpieces are to be welded together, the edge of the workpieces must first be broken by a beveled surface. This is done by machining. The result is a chamfer, also known as a bevel.
If two workpieces are to be welded together, the edge of the workpieces must first be broken by a beveled surface. This is done by machining. Or in other words, a space is created to accommodate the individual welding layers through which the workpieces are joined together. The bevel can have different shapes. The V-joint, the double V-joint, and the Y-joint are the most common shapes.
The position of the weld, the material of the workpiece, and the types of drives available - the choice of the right tool depends on various factors.
If an angle grinder is available, the beveling can be done with sulfur- and iron-free Osborn flap discs. Flap discs with a conical or straight shape are available. The angle on the workpiece determines the shape of the flap wheel.
If a workpiece made of non-ferrous metal is to be beveled, we recommend an abrasive cloth with a cooling bond as it reduces blue tarnish.

If a straight grinder or air grinder is available, chamfering can be done with carbide burrs. The milling head is made of tungsten carbide-cobalt, the shank of tool steel. Different head shapes and toothings ensure that there is the right solution for every application.
For chamfering, burrs with cross serration (Z6) are the best choice. It ensures high stock removal in a short time. If the surface quality is important, a single tooth (Z3) is recommended. In the shipyard sector, the special shipyard toothing is often used. Compared to the Z6 toothing, it has a 30% higher material removal rate.

Coated abrasive sheets are arranged in an epoxy bonded core, making an evenly distributed and quieter efficient polishing tool. This versatile wheel is available in multiple grit types and sizes and can be adapted to fit the application. Round parts, flat parts, edges and contours benefit from this product with its ability to continually produce consistent and repeatable results. Effective for applications with narrow face widths.
Flexible, conformable wheels that apply uniform satin finishes. The density is dictated by how many flaps are wound around the core, therefore, a high-density for the firm face when working on a flat surface and a medium density for a softer, flexible face when the part is irregular in shape.
Medium Density wheels in either Aluminum Oxide Fine or Very Fine grit size is used to relieve black nickel or oxide off brass in an antiquing process. Coated abrasive sheets are positioned between non-woven material for increased flexibility and cutting. Excellent for prep work before staining, sealing, or priming on raw hardwood moldings.
Non-woven abrasive web is wound around a core and specially treated, resulting in a consistent hardness and level of abrasion over the life of the product. This convolute product is perfect for light deburring. An arrow indicates the direction in which the wheels must be used. Blend and Finish wheels have an open mesh construction that is ideal for cleaning prior to coating applications.
Non-woven wheels ideal for cleaning and finishing parts when using portable tools to get down into an area such as a rotary polisher and high speed grinders or stacked together on a shaft where flexibility is required by the operation
A Stainless Steel Eccentric Stud Plain Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud made of stainless steel as the inner raceway, and a stainless steel outer raceway that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material that is well-suited for use in applications where durability and resistance to environmental degradation are important factors. The eccentric stud provides the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection, making it suitable for use in applications with these types of issues. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. The combination of the stainless steel inner and outer raceways provides a high level of durability and reliability, making this type of cam follower suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a plain (non-flanged) outer surface and a yoke-shaped inner ring. It is commonly used in light to medium load applications and provides a simple, low-cost solution for cam and track following. The yoke-shaped inner ring allows for easy installation and the plain outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
A Plain Concentric Stud Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway, with the outer raceway being a cylinder that is concentric with the stud. This design provides a simple and reliable solution for light to medium load applications where a low profile and minimal axial space are required. The stud allows for easy installation, and the plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
A Plain Eccentric Stud Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway, with the outer raceway being a cylinder that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. This design provides a simple and reliable solution for light to medium load applications where the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection is required. The stud allows for easy installation, and the plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. The eccentricity of the outer raceway provides the ability to adjust for misalignment, making it suitable for use in applications with shaft deflection or other sources of misalignment.

A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and a yoke-shaped outer raceway that provides a flat surface for attaching to an external mechanism. The yoke shape provides a simple and reliable solution for attaching the cam follower to a mating component, such as a machine frame, arm, or link. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. This style of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including material handling equipment, conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment.
A Crowned Yoke Style cam follower is a type of roller bearing with a convex (crowned) outer surface that helps to reduce stress and evenly distribute load across the bearing surface. It is commonly used in applications where heavy loads and high-misalignment conditions are present, and helps to ensure consistent contact between the bearing and the cam or track it is following.
