My first guess was "dowel timer", but this doesn't make much sense, and I couldn't find any matches on Google in English.

Second guess: Dowell timer, maybe a timer designed by someone named Dowell, no matches either...

Third guess: dual timer? But the katakana seems wrong to be "dual"...

Any ideas??

Thank you.

ドウエルタイマー
Dowel Timer


Explanation:
This is in context of 'mentoriki'= Chamfering m/c.

Further reference tells about Speed data, Address original position, Address 1-18 inch etc.


In mechanical engineering, Dowel is a reference hole, for other related dimensions.

W.r.t. given context, this statement might be trying to prescribe
'the TIME parameter' for the tool to process the respective Dowel hole/s.
