Abkanten

English translation: edging or bordering

11:06 Apr 2, 2008
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting
German term or phrase: Abkanten
Ebenfalls ein Begriff auf einer Visitenkarte für ein Unternehmen im Schneidtechnikbereich.

Ich habe hier verschiedene Vorschläge:

- Bending (vom Kunden selbst, aber mit Fragezeichen)
- Edging (von einer Kollegin mit dem Fachgebiet)
- Bevelling (Ergebnis meiner bisherigen Recherche).

Wer kann helfen?
Vielen Dank!
