German term or phrase: Abkanter
Er war in unserem Betrieb als CNC Abkanter und Schlosser tätig.

Seine Tätigkeit umfasste das selbständige Abkanten, herstellen und bearbeiten von verschiedenen Teilen, Gehäusern, Konstruktionen und ganzen Baugruppen.

This is from a work reference. I am wondering if "Fitter and Turner" can be used here. I intend to use 'fitter' for 'Schlosser'. Where is says 'selbständige Abkanten" I was thinking of using independent beveling etc.

I'm just not sure that my suggesions fit the context. There are numerous suggesions in the glossary for Abkanten but again I'm not certain what best fits this context.
