French term or phrase: fraise
I have copied a section of the document below. There is very little context, really. I found one translation of 'fraise' as 'mill', but it does have an illustration of a sort of drill, and the 'Porte' fraise, means a sort of attachment where you put a dome-shaped endpiece with little bumps on it (so that it looks a bit like half a strawberry). I thought a better term for this might be a 'burr'?

Les instruments ayant une Fonction de
Mesurage (linéaire ou angulaire)'

Explanation:
In this case the 'fraise' does not look much like a strawberry to me. In mechanical engineering, this tool is known as mill, cutter or milling cutter.
In dental surgery, it is called 'bur' or 'drill'

Notes to answerer
Asker: Do dentists use this? I thought they had a similar sort of thing that is pointed with ridges going from the centre to the edges.

agree  chris collister: Wow, that covers most of the angles! I'd go for burr, but with the extra "r". Porte-fraise would be the burr holder.

engraving bit/cutter


Explanation:
Low because of lack of info. It would appear that they are marking different items and therefore 'engraving' them with individual numbers. The description of a half strawberry sounds ok assuming that it is a very small strawberry.

Re previous note and suggestion of 'burr' and following question re 'marking', are the two related? i.e. are we talking about engraving medical implants? If so then my original answer would probably be ok.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It is a very small strawberry. I said that because it's quite a distinctive dome-shaped drill with little things sticking out of the surface.

Asker: The website you have listed is interesting - I think this must be a deburring tool, but I'm not sure if it has a special medical name.

router


Explanation:
Router, 'out' pronounced as in 'outside'. A router is a tool for cutting and shaping various materials. The attachments are called cutters, in various shapes. They gouge out and give a particular pattern to a piece of wood that you would pass over it, like a chisel, (the strawberry one you describe sounds like a Roman Ogee) so that you end up with a shaped piece of wood as you would find in a picture frame, for example.
