German term or phrase: Vorschub
I have a problem with the translation of Vorschub as it seems to have different meanings in the text.

Some examples:

In Verbindung mit dem Bohrvorschub kann so z. B. auch schräg gebohrt werden.

Zusätzlich ist der Fräskopf mit einem Bohrvorschub ausgestattet, das heißt, Ihre Fräse lässt sich auch für Bohrarbeiten oder beispielsweise zum Senken benutzen.

Pinolenvorschub (30 mm) durch Bohrhebel mit Skalenring (1 Teilstrich = 1 mm)

Verstellung mittels Handrädern mit beweglichem Skalenring (1 Umdrehung macht 2 mm Vorschub)

4.1.2 Vorschub über Bohrhebel

1. Knebelschraube 4 lösen.
2. Innensechskantschraube 5 am Skalenring 6 lösen und Skala auf Null stellen.
3. Schraube 5 wieder festziehen.
4. Mit dem Bohrhebel 7 die gewünschte Höhe einstellen.
5. Knebelschraube 4 wieder festziehen

Explanation:
Hello Bram, apparently *feed* (or *rate of feed*) is also used to measure the effectiveness of drilling that is specified in mm per revolution:

Vorschub m <wz.masch> (Weg des Drehmeißels; in mm pro Werkstückumdrehung) feed; rate of feed (rare)

(-> Langenscheidt Wörterbuch Technik u. angewandte Wissenschaften)
