Tech/Engineering - Architecture
English term or phrase: splay-cuts, mitred ends notches
It is part of a contract of erection. I usually deal with contracts but was not expecting this architecture specification. This is the complete sentence: "No deduction shall be made of mass of metal removed to form splay-cuts, mitred ends notches, holes, etc." I appreciate any help I can get, since I can't find any dictionary in this field. Thank you very much for help. Carla Sousa

I see this question comes from Portugal, it may well be you use other terms there. At any rate, this is talking about material lost when making angled cuts.

Thank you so much for your help. I have found a helpful dictionary “http://www.scribd.com/doc/19966914/Dicionario-metalurgico-Ingles-Portugues" that I hope it can you and other people. I have decided to translate as “Não será efectuada qualquer dedução às massas de metal removidas para formar cortes (entalhes) oblíquos, entalhes em esquadria, furos, etc.”, since looking at the information I had from English dictionaries, this new dictionary and your answers. I hope I can be of some help in the near future. Regards
