MrsMozzy Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 back! Been: on my jollies / working too hard / lurking but not posting. How's you? Back on topic: I'm not from Sheffield, but a phrase used in our house was "chamfering", which my dad insisted meant "tidying up" (he reckons it's a navy term) but really has something to do with bevelling edges.

grinder Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We've been through fettling in industry before,removing a fash/burr. In engineering, to chamfer some thing your making on a lathe is more than fettling, it's to take the edge off a part and is often to a size.
