Gilling

Gilling refers to a mechanical process used in manufacturing or engineering where a tool, called a gill or gilling tool, creates a series of small, closely spaced cuts or grooves into a material. This technique can improve the material’s surface properties, such as enhancing grip, reducing noise, or allowing for better adhesion in assembly. Gilling is often used on metal or plastic components to achieve specific functional or aesthetic qualities. The process involves precise control to ensure consistent, uniform patterns, contributing to the part’s overall performance and durability.
