The groove and groove is an elongate angled recess in the art.

Word origin

Groove is a medium sized German word that comes specifically from wood processing. In the metal processing, it takes only later input.

Functions and production

Grooves serve to fix elongated components to perform (as interlocking connections ), or to sink. In other cases, is created by the removal of material space.

The groove may be of rectangular cross-section, or of a trapezoidal shape, with the outside wall or a Splayed dovetail.

Are produced grooves:

• Machined with the tiller in numerous materials
• Form with engraving knives in the turning shop
• Grinding reacting in one step or parting line and chisel in stone and related materials
• Pushing or planing with special tools in wood but also metals or plastics
• In metals also pulling with a Nutenziehmaschine
• Rooms with a broach

• With roller presses

In woodworking, the difference between the longitudinal groove along the wood fiber and the transverse groove is crucial: the former can be planed, temptation simply sawn. At today's use of the router but the distinction is irrelevant. Special tools for woodworking are:

• Routers
• Absetzsäge, and the gouge except in the manual woodworking
• Notching iron, a special gouge the base wall and knifed ( [ profile)
• Dexel - even here there are special Nutendexeln

Use

• In mechanical engineering as a " counterpart " to seals, clamp rings, oil seals and the like;
• As a guide bearing;
• T-slots on slide tables of machine tools for fixing workpieces;

• To the longitudinal connection by tongue and groove;
• To the longitudinal connection by tongue and groove connection;
• For vertical connection by means of bearing edges;
• For receiving a Einschüblings as frame;
• For insertion of the soil in containers, etc. in the cooperage;
