Beveling
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.
What is beveling and
why is it important?
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.
Which tool is used for beveling?
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.

FLRS Stainless Steel Concentric Stud Flanged Cam Followers - Inch Sizes
Stainless steel concentric stud flanged style cam followers are bearings that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end, a central concentric stud that allows for attaching other machine components and a inner ring that rotates around the stud axis. They are made of stainless steel which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. This makes them suitable for use in harsh environments where corrosion resistance is required.
VLRS V-Grooved - Concentric Stud Style, Inch Sizes
A V-Grooved Stainless Steel Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that is made of stainless steel. It has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and an outer raceway shaped like a V-groove that provides a means of tracking a cam or similar rotating component. The V-groove provides positive engagement with a rotating cam, while the stud provides a simple and reliable solution for installations where a specific and consistent orientation of the bearing is required. The use of stainless steel in the construction of the cam follower provides excellent resistance to corrosion and other types of chemical degradation, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. This type of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including food processing equipment, pharmaceutical machinery, and equipment used in marine and offshore environments.
VLRSE V-Grooved - Eccentric Stud Plain Style
A V-Grooved Stainless Steel Eccentric Cam Follower is a roller bearing with an eccentric stud and V-groove outer raceway, made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Used for precise load distribution and positioning in precision components, robotics, automation, and aerospace/defense applications.
PLRNE Nylon Tread Load Runners - Eccentric Stud Style
A Nylon Tread Eccentric Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and a nylon outer raceway that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. Nylon is a low-friction, wear-resistant material that is well-suited for use in light to medium load applications where corrosion resistance and low friction 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 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
