Shearing
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Shear
(n.) The act or operation of clipping with shears or a shearing machine, as the wool from sheep, or the nap from cloth.
(n.) The product of the act or operation of clipping with shears or a shearing machine; as, the whole shearing of a flock; the shearings from cloth.
(n.) Same as Shearling.
(n.) The act or operation of reaping.
(n.) The act or operation of dividing with shears; as, the shearing of metal plates.
(n.) The process of preparing shear steel; tilting.
(n.) The process of making a vertical side cutting in working into a face of coal.
