Abstract
A method of manufacturing a part having a beveled edge with a serration formed in the beveled edge. The method includes positioning a part between a first die piece and a second die piece; and moving the first die piece relative to the second die piece. The movement results in both shearing a portion of the part to create the beveled edge, and serrating the beveled edge to create the serration.

A method of manufacturing a part having a beveled edge with a serration formed in the beveled edge, the method comprising:
- positioning a part between a first die piece and a second die piece;
- and
- moving the first die piece relative to the second die piece, the movement resulting in both shearing a portion of the part to create the beveled edge;
- and
- serrating the beveled edge to create the serration.
A die set configured for creating, in a single operation, a part having a beveled edge with a serration formed in the beveled edge, the die set comprising:
- a first die piece having a first contact surface;
- a second die piece having a second contact surface;
- a projection formed on the second contact surface,
- wherein the first die piece and the second die piece are movable relative to each other, the first contact surface and the second contact surface operable to both shear and serrate a part during the relative movement.
