None. Never bevel an amalgam prep
If a composite prep is entirely on cementum, where do you bevel?
Nothing. Butt joints all around
What is the point of bevelling
You bevel on enamel to expose more of the enamel rods

Therefore you cannot distinguish the composite

The occlusal floor is angled

Lingual cusp is so small that you want to preserve it

Prevents fracture of pulp
Why is the outline form extended into the primary grooves up to the beginning of the upslope of the cusp?
It places the margins of the amalgam in an area that is accessible to tooth brushing and less susceptible to plaque accumulation
Why is the axio-pulpal line angle beveled?
A sharp line angle would create excessive stress on the amalgam leading to potential fracture of the restoration
