vis épaulée / à épaulement Explanation: I'm not familair with the term 'step screw' in EN, and wonder if it is possibly a non-native source text? If it is, then this might be the correct interpretation: a 'stepped' screw, i.e. one with a shoulder — quite commonly used for fixings in lots of fields. Only a hunch, I'm afraid, in view of lack of context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2008-07-03 12:31:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To my surprise, both of my suggested terms get roughyl similar numbers of Ghits! Not a huge number, but enough to make me believe these are indeed legitimate terms. |

peer agreement (net): +1vis de butée Language variant: vis de retenue, vis d'arrêt Explanation: I would say it's a typo for "stop screw". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2008-07-03 13:08:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "step screw" exists though and means "vis décolletée" in French.
