Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / plate surfaces
English term or phrase: to grind
Regrind*** and replace as needed. It is essential that the holeplates are sharp edged.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To achieve good results, the ***grinding*** surfaces need to be in perfect condition and the chuck has to be thoroughly clean
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If a knife has been worn on one side of the holeplate, it has to maintain working on that side until the whole set is resurfaced. ***Regrinding**** the knives and then combining them with ***unground*** holeplates diminishes their effectiveness.

No estoy seguro si es esmerilar o se trata de algún otro procedimiento. Es de un molino para carne, las placas son las que dan forma a la carne molida una vez que es cortada

rectificar


Explanation:
Creo que es el término más apropiado en este caso, pues describe toda la operación. No se trata sólo de afilar la cuchilla, sino de lograr que mantenga un contacto de superficie con la placa agujereada, y que el borde de los agujeros se mantenga afilado. La única forma de lograrlo es mediante rectificado 1) de la superficie plana de la placa 2) de la superficie de la cuchilla que hace contacto con la placa. Por eso advierte *...until the whole set is resurfaced*
