Faslinjritning

Faslinjritning is a Swedish term used in technical drawing to describe the depiction of a bevel or chamfer line on a workpiece. The word combines fasning (bevel/chamfer) with linje (line) and ritning (drawing). In practice, faslinjritning communicates where an edge has been beveled and by how much, helping machinists, woodworkers, and fabricators prepare and finish parts.

Typically, a faslinje is shown in drawings as the edge that has been machined or cut at an inclined angle relative to the adjacent surface. The notation often includes the bevel angle and, if necessary, the bevel width or depth. In some cases, a separate detail or a note on the drawing provides precise tolerances or surface finish requirements for the beveled edge. Faslinjritning can appear on plan views, elevations, or detail views, and it is usually distinguished from other line types such as hidden, center, or section lines.

Use and contexts vary by industry, but faslinjritning is commonly encountered in carpentry, furniture making, metal fabrication, and architectural detailing. It is part of broader drawing practices that adhere to established standards for line types and geometric conventions, such as ISO 128, which governs technical drawing notation. While the term is relatively specialized and may not be used in all contexts, the underlying concept—clearly indicating beveled edges in a drawing—remains widely understood among professionals.
