Edge Profiles

PROFILE EDGES

Profiling of edges creates added dimension to the finished product. A profile can also be functional through elimination of the sharp edges or corners and improving the handling ability of items.

Here are a few edge profiles we offer:

ROUND OVERS

Round Over – Round over is a rolled edge similar to the upper edge of a countertop.  The edge is shaped to create a waterfall profile to remove the sharp edge.

BEVELS

Bevel – A bevel is made by cutting a sharp corner at 45 degrees to create a flat, blunt edge, similar to a diamond’s different facets.  This flat surface removes the corner or edge to form a 45 degree facet and adds dimension to the edge.

We offer two types of bevels, either a shoulder bevel or full bevel:

Shoulder Bevel – A 45 degree cut is applied to only half the materials thickness. 

Full Bevel – A 45 degree cut is applied to the full material thickness. Like a ramp starting from the bottom and ending at materials full thickness.   

COUNTERSINKS

Countersink – Countersinks are relief cuts made to holes that allows the use of countersunk hardware.  Countersink screws will sit flush to the material’s surface and do not protrude like a traditional round-headed screw.

RABBETS

Rabbet – A rabbet is a recess or groove along the materials perimeter to create a ledge, flange, recess, or lap.
