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.

Flanged eccentric stud style cam followers are bearings that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end and an inner ring that is attached to the stud shaft by an eccentric collar. This design allows for adjustability of the radial clearance between the cam and the follower. The flange on the outer ring allows for easy installation and the stud shaft can be used for attaching other machine components.
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.

Flanged crown concentric cam followers are a type of bearing that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end, and a cylindrical or crowned inner ring that rotates around a central axis. They are designed to follow the movement of a cam, which is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. The flange on the outer ring allows for easy installation, while the concentric design helps to maintain proper alignment and reduce wear on the bearing.
A V-Grooved 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 and has a V-groove cut into its surface. This design is commonly used in cam and track following applications where the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection is required and a specific and consistent orientation of the bearing relative to the cam or track is needed. The V-groove allows for positive guidance and helps to maintain the proper orientation of the bearing, while the eccentric stud provides the ability to adjust for misalignment, making it suitable for use in applications with shaft deflection or other sources of misalignment. 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.

Flanged crowned eccentric stud cam followers are a type of bearing that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end, and an inner ring that rotates around a central axis which is offset from the bearing center. They are designed to follow the movement of a cam, which is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. The flange on the outer ring allows for easy installation and the eccentric design allows for adjustability in the radial direction.
A Stainless Steel Concentric 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 concentric with the stud.
