French term or phrase: trous lames
Although there are lots of "lames" in Kudoz none of them make sense here. And hardly enything on the web. It's a label on a technical drawing of heavy equipment / flanges. No other context. (And you can't tell what it is from the drawing.) Could it be "countersunk holes" ??

OK, there's an accent missing (I didn't think a glittery gold hole was very likely, though), but the diagram in the link does make it very clear what it is.

Thanks, I think you got this one exactly (countersunk being chamfer to accommodate a bevelled screw head; counterbore being a recess to accommodate any shape of screw head or washer [or so I would understand it])
Thanks to all! :-)

spotfaced holes


Explanation:
Spotfacing involves milling a smooth surface round a hole in an otherwise uneven piece of metal to provide smooth seating for bolt heads.

Features spotfaced holes for No.12 fillister screws and a mini velocity cone. I've been running one on my Chief for close to 10 years. Limited supply. ...

Assuming it is "lamés" with an accent, that is.

Lamage : déplacement [which I take to mean "displacement of material, i.e. machining] cylindrique généralement destiné:
- à obtenir une surface d'appui,
- à "noyer" un élément de pièce.
http://bips.carrefour-education.qc.ca/scenarios/techno/BIPS2...

Un lamage est un perçage à fond plat, servant à assurer la portée de la tête de vis, d'un écrou ou d'une rondelle.
Le diamètre du lamage peut être le même que le diamètre du chambrage.
On réalise un lamage à l'aide d'une fraise à lamer, sur une perceuse ou une aléseuse.

Spotfacing is the reverse of acne. Acne is when you have pimples. Spotfacing removes the pimples from an area on a piece of metal.

Not to be confused with "chambrage", which has nothing to do with getting wine up to room temperature.

Les dessus de glissières sont dotés de trous taraudés tandis que les embases comportent des trous chambrés pour vis cylindriques à la norme DIN 912. ...
www.skfequipements.skf.fr/fr/2/pssat-fid111-Glissieres_stan...

Un chambrage est un perçage à fond plat, servant à noyer la tête de vis.
Les dimensions (diamètre) dépendent du type d'outils de serrage :
non débordant (C1),
débordant (tête ou écrou hex.) manœuvré à la main (C2) ou à la machine (C3).
On réalise un chambrage à l'aide d'une fraise à lamer, sur une perceuse ou une aléseuse.
