French term

Remise en géométrie

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
In document about grinders and other machine tools. No further context available. Google searches, however, produced a few examples:

"Opération test pour la remise en géométrie et le raccordement du plan cadastral"

" La reconstruction de machines-outils entend la rénovation des organes mécaniques, le remplacement des pièces défectueuses, le grattage des coulisses et des organes de géométrie ainsi que la remise en géométrie d’origine"

I think that first reference of yours sounds like a red herring, it seems to be talking about land surveying...?

tru(e)ing-up

I'm not sure if this term is used in all fields, but it certainly is in many, and gets plenty of Googles.

Personally, I'd have expected it to be spelt 'trueing', but I see that 'truing' gets far and away more Googles.

I should add that 'truing' IS indeed used alone (i.e. without the -up), I don't know if that in any way changes the meaning, but I've seen both used in contexts where they certainly appeared to be synonymous, to all intents and purposes

Thansl, Terry!
agree Bourth (X) : Certainly if talking about the wheels, not the entire mechanics of the thing (see my A. to "diamanteur")

Thanks, Alex! Yes, certainly applicable to anything round...
agree Cervin : See also http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4450826.html where there is a description of a tool for truing up grinders of some sort
