Being on the slant, it isn't exactly level (5)

I believe the answer is:

bevel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being on the slant' is the definition.
'bevel' can be an answer for 'slant' (I have seen 'Slant of surface ' mean 'bevel' so perhaps 'slant' could also mean 'bevel'). I am not sure about the 'being on the' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bevel that I've seen before include "Sloping edge or chamfer" , "Cut at a slant" , "Cut a sloping surface on" , "Tool for making a sloping edge on a piece of wood" , "Sloped edge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
