The ‘wate’ is the ground surface of a pair of pliers
The bevel (edge) is the ground surface (cutting edge) of a pliers’ blade and plays a key role in determining its cutting performance.
Why is this important?
- The quality of the bevel influences the cutting capacity, precision and durability of the tool.
The cutting edge may be where two bevels meet (= double-sided grind) or where a bevel meets the back of the blade (= single-sided grind).
