ébauche / ébaucher / tour ébauche

English translation: blank/preform - rough machine - roughing lathe

Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / manufacturing generators
French term or phrase: ébauche / ébaucher / tour ébauche
Sorry, this really IS only one term, but I wanted to draw attention to the 3 ways it is being used here:

"(Para. ) 14. Reprise ébauche des sections

Reprendre au tour ébauche les sections brasées pour ramener la cote extérieure des sections à 0.x mm du bossage du collecteur.
Reprendre, si nécessaire, le diamètre extérieur des sections brasées à 77 mm.

[légende de photo:] Parties à ébaucher"

Now I know that in general terms it means 'rough', but I can't quite get my head round how to express it here. GDT gives 'first operation lathe' for 'tour à ébauche', but I'm far from convinced that is applicable here.

I guess what's really confusing me is how to express the idea of 'reprise ébauche'

This part of the document is all about getting the small rotor to about the right diameter (approx. 80 mm) and roundness, before final rectification and balancing

Explanation:
And as for "reprendre" and "reprise", they are "rework" and "reworking".

roughing rework


Explanation:
Here are some suggestions:

reprise ebauche: roughing rework

This seems to be used by technicians, for example

"The correct way to use Roughing rework is to define the Rough stock in Part Operation & in the roughing operation not to give the rough stock. Then select another Roughing operation. The S/W calculates the left over material from the previous operation & removes only the leftover material.Again no rough stock needs to be defined"
