Morceau excédentaire qui tombe d'une pièce de bois [...] et qui a la forme d'une particule mince, légèrement arrondie. 1, record 1, French, - raboture
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme planure est utilisé de façon générale au Québec pour désigner une raboture. Toutefois, comme planeur constitue un emprunt à l'anglais à éviter, il en va de même pour ses dérivés, y compris le terme planure. [Le terme raboture] est proposé de préférence à copeau de rabotage [...] un copeau est une petite pièce de bois à fibre courte et solide, de longueur précise mais aux parois irrégulières. La raboteuse au contraire prélève une couche très mince en surface, ce qui ne correspond pas vraiment à un copeau. 1, record 1, French, - raboture
