rip cut
Explanation:
I asked my carpenter - he said:
It sounds like you are referring to a planer machine… ? if the machine is a saw, then it is a “rip cut” lengthwise.
A butt cut would be a cross grain cut, “cross cut” to square up the end of a piece of lumber.

If you can't open it, then google "rip cut" and then check images. Then do the same with "butt cut". You can then see the difference.

butt-cut


Explanation:
Betyder skåret lige af - uden mellemskær. Termen er almindelig i trykbranchen, men et kig i IATE viser at butt også anvendes i andre industrier og mange sammensætninger.

Kunne måske være butt-cut edge / square cut edge.

Måske er det en hjælp på vejen ..
