Meaning of "wasteboard" in English

A "wasteboard" in English typically refers to a disposable surface or material used in machining and crafting processes. It is designed to protect the main work surface from damage by absorbing cuts, scratches, or excess material. Moreover, it serves as a sacrificial layer that can be replaced once it becomes too damaged for effective use. Wasteboards are common in CNC machining, woodworking, and other applications where precision cutting is necessary to prevent damage to tools or the primary work surface.

Meaning of "wasteboard" in French

In French, "wasteboard" maintains a similar definition as in English. It refers to a sacrificial panel or surface employed in machining or crafting to protect the main work area. The board absorbs incisions and scratches, allowing the primary surface to remain undamaged. Commonly used in CNC machining and woodworking, wasteboards ensure that cutting processes do not harm valuable tools or the actual workspace. Once it becomes worn out from use, it can easily be replaced to continue providing protection.
