Chamfering is simply cutting a bevel on the edge of a 90°
angle. A chamfer can range anywhere from 5 to 85 degrees and can be
shaped in a variety of forms. You can use a router, shaper or they saw
to make a chamfer.
The most common place on a stairway that you will find
any type of chamfering, will be on your stair treads and handrailing
parts. It's not uncommon to find a stair tread with a small chamfer on
the front edge or both sides of the top of a 1 x 6 handrail.
