What Is Bevelling and Why It Matters
The Basics
Bevelling is the process of cutting a sloped edge on metal, preparing it for welding or assembly. It’s essential when fabricating thick plates, beams, and pipes that need strong, seamless joints.
Why It’s Crucial
- Enhances weld penetration and bond strength.
- Reduces manual grinding time.
- Improves safety and handling.
- Ensures cleaner finishes for painting or fitting.
