The development of compact plate beveller is designed to improve a safe and effective bevel edge preparation for welding specimen that is very important for a welder before performing the welding procedure. The researchers encountered a lot of problems in plate beveling due to the lack of a proper tool for plate beveling which leaves us to using portable grinders that produces uneven angles on the faying surface of the beveled plate. The prototype is designed to edge prepare the metal plate by beveling it faster and ensuring the precise angle of the bevel required. The prototype is designed to help students, welders, and welding practitioners to lessen the time and exerted effort in beveling the plate. The prototype consists of four major parts such as the three-c shape base metal connected to each other, a precision mill cutter a power machine bearing, high tinsel screw, and a kill switch. The test result showed that the prototype meets all the expectation and scope and limitation of the prototype. The device and all test data were processed as expected in terms of functionality, efficiency, economy, safety aesthetic, the prototype was evaluating by twenty (20) evaluators, five from welding department and fifteen respondents from different machine and welding fabrication shops. With an overall mean of 4.49 a satisfactory that is highly acceptable the respondent or evaluators show that the compact plate beveller is working properly with safety feature and all the parts needed prices is downright affordable in the industrial market
