Le terme anglais "chisel" désigne tant un burin qu'un ciseau. Les deux instruments peuvent être utilisés seuls ou percutés à l'aide d'un marteau. Tous deux ont une extrémité biseautée tranchante. Alors que le burin sert à entailler le périoste ou l'os, le ciseau est utilisé en chirurgie osseuse pour prélever, tailler ou trancher un greffon ou un fragment osseux. 3, record 3, French, - ciseau

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Une des premières choses que doit apprendre l'ouvrier scieur est de dresser le disque dont le tranchant doit être parfaitement plat, sans bosses. Pour cela, il utilise une sorte de couteau fait d'un burin d'acier, soigneusement aiguisé sous un angle de 20 à 30 degrés, présentant un léger morfil obtenu sur une meule à grains fins. Grâce à ce couteau, il pourra faire une «coupe» ou rectification parfaite du tranchant du disque. 3, record 4, French, - ciseau

El arado de cinceles afloja el suelo sin volcarlo, dejando parte de la vegetación sobre la superficie, puede penetrar hasta 60 cm dentro del suelo, lo cual permite aflojar suelos duros y compactados, lo que lo hace ser un equipo de labranza, apropiado para la conservación de suelos y agua. La utilización de este arado es una alternativa al uso del arado de discos. 2, record 5, Spanish, - arado%20de%20cincel

Watrin, dans ses "Ardoisières des Ardennes", nous décrit (...) le travail: «L'ouvrier se sert d'un ciseau en fer de 50 cm environ de longueur et de 3 ou 4 cm de largeur, dont le biseau est très allongé. Il dresse le morceau de pierre (...) puis il place le ciseau (...) au milieu de l'épaisseur, et, à l'aide d'un maillet en bois, il frappe sur le ciseau à petits coups, de façon à amorcer la fente. Il change le ciseau de place en répétant la même opération et, lorsque la fente est bien préparée, il frappe alors un plus fort coup pour faire pénétrer le ciseau plus profondément. Il le fait ensuite glisser et, lorsque la pierre se fend bien, il divise la dalle en deux lames qui sont d'égales épaisseurs. Chaque lame ainsi obtenue est divisée en deux autres lames et celles-ci sont également divisées de la même manière jusqu'à ce que l'on ait obtenu des feuillets de 2 à 5 mm d'épaisseur. 2, record 10, French, - ciseau%20%C3%A0%20fendre
