Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Grinding wheel dressing | | French term or phrase: mise de largeur | Dresseur
La machine est équipée d’un outil de taillage type plaquette qui permet le taillage de meule sur le diamètre et les faces.
Celui-ci se trouve sur un axe rotatif afin de pouvoir donner l’orientation durant le taillage meule.
Le centre de rotation se trouve exactement au centre du rayon plaquette.
Dresseur pour face meule
Cette outillage permet de tailler une **mise de largeur** meule. Il se monte sur l’axe porte pièce.
There's a diagram of the wheel dresser used for the "mise de largeur": it's just an ordinary-looking cutting tool with a lozenge-shaped insert, on a cylindrical shank. No other context. |

| | establishing width/cutting to size | Explanation:
Hi,
The French love their 'mise de' and 'mise à' phrases which are always difficult to translate because you have to somehow change the format due to 'putting to' or 'putting at' not working in English.
I read the 'mise de' similarly as I would read a 'mise à' in this case.
I would say that the text means that this tool allows the wheel to be carved to size or the specified width to be established.
Does that make sense to you within the context of the rest of the translation?

Brilliant! Sounds good. Yes I couldn't tell when your question was asked, only that you hadn't received any answers so I thought I'd share my thoughts :) |

Asker: Yes, this is indeed the sense I construed. The translation was sent some time ago, I think I used something like "setting a width".
