Morphology
If a learner knows 'chamfer' (a beveled or angled edge) and 'plane' (a handheld woodworking tool), they can directly infer that a 'chamfer plane' is a plane used to cut or finish chamfers. The compound follows a regular noun+noun tool-naming pattern common in English and other languages, so its meaning is compositional and transparent despite being somewhat technical.
Etymology
Chamfer plane is a woodworking tool with a literal name: chamfer means an 'angled edge' and plane is a flat hand tool that shaves wood. Woodworkers use a chamfer plane to cut small angled edges, so the name directly shows its purpose.
