I need the specific one, shear, saw and flame cutting are apart.

It must not be an angle grinder, but it might. (the industrial, stationary ones or not in an angle)

This is strait forward, but I have doubts. Doesn't it mean cuts for separation? "Trennschleifen" means that what you do with a angle grinder.

The way we can add up words in german to build new nouns is something I like on it ....


I think I do KISS and use "Cut". If somebody is annoyed he might complain (And provide the translation). It's not may dutty to translate technical terms. Its customers.....
