The principle that a stream of liquid or gas exerts less sideways pressure while in motion than while at rest. As a result, fluids seem to be drawn into the stream, but are really pushed in by higher outside pressure.
Beryllium
Gray metallic, hard, lightweight element; atomic number 4; atomic weight 9.0122; atomic symbol Be.
Betterment
Improvements made to a home or property that increase the value.
Bevel
Edge cut at an angle; corner with two angles and a flat plane between.
Bevel angle
Angle, to which the bevel is cut, is measured from a plane perpendicular to the axis of a material.
Bevel capability
Bevel capability refers to the ability of a portable tool to adjust the bevel, or angle, of a cut by adjusting the base of the tool.
Bevel cut
Plywood panels cut at an angle to make smooth mating joints; board cut at an angle.
Bevel gauge
Called a bevel square or sliding T-bevel, this measuring tool has an adjustable sliding blade. After the blade is adjusted to the dimensions of an angle, it is locked in so that the exact measurement of the angle is able to be marked for transfer to another piece.
Bevel gear
To allow for a quieter transmission of power, a bevel gear has teeth cut on the bevel with relation to the axis of the gear to allow it to mesh with another bevel gear.
Bevel joint
Joining point of two pieces of material at an angle to the axis on one or both.
