sorvágó

The sorvágó is a type of woodworking tool used for cutting or scoring wood. It is characterized by a sharp, angled blade, often made of steel, which is designed to penetrate and shape the wood surface. The term "sorvágó" itself is of Hungarian origin, roughly translating to "saw cutter" or "groove cutter."

These tools are typically operated by hand, with the user applying pressure and drawing the blade across the wood. The precise angle of the blade and its sharpness determine the depth and neatness of the cut or score. Sorvágók can be used for various purposes, including creating decorative grooves, marking lines for subsequent cuts, or preparing surfaces for joinery.

While a general term, the specific design of a sorvágó can vary. Some may have a straight blade, while others might feature a curved or beveled edge to achieve different effects. They are often part of a broader set of woodworking implements and are valued for their ability to perform detailed and controlled work on wood. The use of a sorvágó requires a degree of skill and precision to achieve desired results without damaging the material.
