reçut

Recut refers to a process in which a material is cut again. This can occur for several reasons depending on the industry or context. In manufacturing, a piece of material that was previously cut might be found to be slightly out of specification or have a minor defect. Instead of discarding it, it might be sent back to the cutting machinery to be trimmed down to the correct dimensions or to remove the flawed section. This is a form of quality control and waste reduction.

In woodworking, recutting might be necessary when a board is cut to length but then needs to be planed or jointed to create a perfectly square edge before being cut to its final precise dimension. Similarly, in metalworking, a piece of metal might be cut and then subsequently re-cut to achieve a finer tolerance or a specific shape that wasn't possible with the initial cut. This also applies to processes involving textiles or paper, where materials might be re-cut to meet exact size requirements or to salvage material that was slightly mis-cut. The term implies a secondary cutting operation after an initial one has already taken place.
