auger

to dig in order to get the shape of a trough; to bend a piece of flat iron into the shape of a gutter, of an eavestrough

Usage

A rare arts-et-métiers term meaning to hollow something into a trough or gutter shape (from auge, 'trough') — essentially unknown outside specialist woodworking and metalworking vocabulary.

Examples
  • L'artisan auge la pièce de fer avant de la souder.The craftsman hollows the iron piece before welding it.
  • Ce type de gouge sert à auger le bois.This kind of gouge is used to hollow the wood.
  • On auge la planche pour former une rigole.The board is hollowed out to form a channel.
Common mistake

This is specialist trade vocabulary, unrelated to the common surname Auger — most French speakers never encounter this verb outside a woodworking or metalworking manual.
