GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
German term or phrase: touchieren
"Mit Profilstahl seitlich, von vorne gesehen rechts, am Steg touchieren."

I'm using a glossary that defines "Profilstahl" as "dressing tool" and "Steg" as "web."

Does this mean "to touch"? It's not in my dictionary.

apply ink
Explanation:
to detect uneveness which has to be removed by machining.
Profilstahl should perhaps be steel sections or structural steel like I-beams etc.
