Le coin est essentiellement un instrument terminé en angle, avec deux faces très allongées, que l'on introduit de force dans une pièce de bois pour la fendre. S'il s'agit de fendre des bûches, il sera alors en fer ou en acier. Par contre, pour l'abattage, le coin sera en plastique ou en alliage léger, car la chaîne de la scie pourrait être gravement endommagée au contact des coins en acier. 1, record 2, French, - coin%20d%27abattage
