Reading another thread got me thinking about the terminology we use such as making off, glanding off etc. but how many of the younger sparks know what "belling out" means?

In my previous life as a die technician (ok, corrector) we used rotary burrs to grind chunks out of the dies.

Nah that's not fettling, in the only good place in the UK fettling something is to put paid to it or settle a score. As in "That fettled him the bugger"
