chamfer
"eliminare lo spigolo" is translated as "to chamfer".
A "spigolo" on a gear is an edge or a tip and when it is eliminated or smoothed off the verb is "to chamfer", so here just indicate the imperative "chamfer".
References? I spent far too many years working for Italy's biggest gear tool manufacturer and writing their technical manuals. But it is also in Marolli.
