French term

dégau

French to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
This term appears in varous forms in a series of files relating to how car panels are put together.
Some examples are:

Le contrôle de la pièce se fera à l'issu du mode opératoire décrit ci-dessous via un dégau "pinules".
Dégau presseur.
Le contrôle de la pièce à l'issue du mode opératoire ci-dessous se fera via un dégau "pinnules".
DEGAUS SPECIFIQUES.
DEGAUT LOCAL PRESSEUR.

There is no more context and nothing so useful as a picture.

The only references I can find to "Dégau" (which I suspect is the correct spelling) seem to be an abbreviation for "dégauchisseuse", which is usually a woodworking machine.

I suspect it's some sort of gauge for measuring shapes/curvatures, etc. but has anyone any better ideas?

Thanks for the input. It certainly seems as if Susan's "dressing" is most likely, although to me "dressing" implies an actual process rather than checking (which is what I assume is involved).

Metal too According to GDT, a 'dégauchisseuse' can also be a surfacer in metallurgy, and the general verb 'dégauchir' can certainly apply to lots of fields.

In your context, however, this does seem to be more of a measuring instrument...

I'm wondering if it isn't something like a surface table or plate, but a special kind with these 'pinules'?

dressing

Hi Chris,

The customer glossary I have gives dégauchissage as "dressing" with the explanation 'Choix dégauchissage par 3 trous (possible avec pinules) à implanter'.
