chiselling/whittling


Explanation:
By the way,just to mention it,the expression 'Chiselling' has already turned up at proz.com:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/metallurgy_casti...

Sample sentences:

Cable-tool drilling at 10-in (25-cm) diameter had a low
probability of success, but the financial outlay was small and
some of the shallow holes near bedrock outcrops might be
completed. Some information on the response of the deposit
would be gained in respect of consolidation and the ease of
rock fracturing by CHISELLING. Two boreholes on the floor of
the quarry were successfully drilled to 15 m, hut five attempts
on the top of the deposit achieved only one borehole to 8 m.
