German term

überdrehen

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Electrical Motors
Bei starker Unrundheit bauen Sie den Läufer aus und überdrehen Sie den Kommutator auf einer Drehmaschine

This term stands in contrast to abdrehen / Abdrehung, see corresponding question, which I understand as facing or turning off.

Thank you for your input

jccantrell Oct 6, 2010:
process or turn I saw your other question on abdrehen first. The link I added to 'turning' speaks of turning or processing your brake rotors, so you might think about these choices.
Andreas Hild Oct 5, 2010:
überdrehen v abdrehen The former is generic that something will be shaped *again* indifferent how much, the latter specifies that shaping will only done up to the smallest existing or initial diameter.

turn

hier ist einfach nur drehen gemeint
Note from asker:
also ist deiner Meinung nach exakt das Gleiche gemeint bei Über- und Abdrehung? Warum sollte ein Handbuch dies differenzieren?

Warning: This a is from a MAN-glossary that I found online. I don't who exactly the author (eurografica.com) is, and I certainly cannot tell if this is correct.

Here it says:

überdrehen --- skim (commutator)

neutral Andreas Hild : Sound like an informal way of saying that a little bit will be taking off.
