What is another word for cross cut?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈɒs kˈʌt] (IPA) 
Cross cut is a term used broadly to describe a perpendicular slice into some surface or material. However, depending on the context, there are several synonyms that can be used instead of cross cut. In the woodworking industry, it is often known as a cross-grain cut, where the cut is made through the grain at a 90-degree angle. In forestry, a similar technique is referred to as a felling or a logging cut. In the diamond industry, the cutting technique that forms a diamond is named precisely as a cross cut. In surgery, the transverse incision is equivalent to a cross cut, as it is made across the body or a limb and not with the grain of the skin.
