A Chamfer is a beveled edge connecting two surfaces. If the surfaces are at right angles, the chamfer will typically be symmetrical at 45 degrees. Chamfers may be both exterior (cutting off an external angle) and interior (filling in an internal angle). A fillet is the opposite, rounding off an interior corner.

Example of non-filleted and filleted poles It is common to find a fillet where two parts are welded together In mechanical engineering, a fillet (pronounced “fill-itâ€) is a concave easing of an interior corner of a part used to reduce stress concentration. ...
"Chamfer" is a term commonly used in industrial engineering. Special tools such as chamfer mills and chamfer planes are available. Industrial engineering is the engineering discipline that concerns the design, development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, knowledge, equipment, energy, material and process. ...
An example of chamfering is part of the process of hand-crafting a glass mirror. Before the surface of the disc can be ground, the edges must first be chamfered to prevent chipping. This can be accomplished by placing the disc in a metal bowl containing carborundum and rotating the disc with a rocking motion. The grit will thus wear off the sharp edge of the glass. Silicon carbide (SiC) or moissanite is a ceramic compound of silicon and carbon. ...
