Howto use the Part Design Workbench Chamfer Tool
A Chamfer is a design feature that is used to add decoration to an object, make objects safer for humans, or a combination of both. As a general rule, a chamfer is made at roughly 45 degrees to the edge, with the size determining whether the chamfer is a decorative feature or just being used to remove sharp corners.
Chamfers can be made using a hand plane, a router with a chamfer bit installed, or a combination of both. We typically use chamfers to remove sharp edges from furniture using a hand plane of some sort. Typically this is done using a block plane, but it can also be done with a jack or smoothing plane.
