bemetzés

Bemetszés is a Hungarian term that translates to "cutting in" or "insertion" in English. It refers to a technique used in various contexts, primarily in woodworking and metalworking, where a piece of material is cut and then a new piece is inserted to form a joint or to repair a damaged section. The goal of bemetzés is often to create a strong and seamless connection between two or more parts.

In woodworking, bemetzés is commonly employed to join pieces of timber. A common application is in creating mortise and tenon joints, where a mortise (a rectangular hole) is cut into one piece, and a tenon (a projecting tongue) is cut from another. The tenon is then inserted into the mortise to create a sturdy joint. It can also be used to repair cracks or defects in wood by cutting out the damaged area and inserting a new piece of wood.

In metalworking, bemetzés can refer to similar joining techniques or to the process of cutting a specific shape or slot into a metal component. For instance, a keyway or a slot for a screw might be created using a bemetzés process. The precision of the cut and the fit of the inserted piece are crucial for the integrity and functionality of the final product. The term emphasizes the act of cutting a space and then filling it.
