beveled edge
Slanted cut margin
A beveled edge is a surface that meets another at an angle other than 90 degrees—cut or ground to slope rather than form a sharp corner.
Common in woodworking, glasswork, and metalworking, beveling adds visual interest, reduces sharpness, or allows pieces to fit together: The mirror has a beveled edge that catches the light.
