Abstract

In the method for producing components (2) with a beveled cut edge (Y bevel), a vertical laser beam (5) is used to make at least one vertical cut through the material (1), parts (3) of the material (1) which lie outside the component (2) are removed, and then an inclined laser beam (6) is used to make an inclined cut along the vertical cut edge produced.
