bevel cut

Tilted blade slice

A bevel cut is an angled cut through material where the blade tilts relative to the surface, creating an edge that isn't perpendicular to the face.

Common in woodworking and metalworking for joining pieces, decorative edges, or fitting components: She made a 45-degree bevel cut along the board's edge.

Distinguished from a miter cut, which angles across the face rather than through the thickness.
