In my dictionary:
swage (n. v.) 1. a tool for bending cold metal to a required shape. 2. a tool, die, or stamp for giving a particular shape to metal on an anvil, in a stamping press, etc. 3. swage block. 4. to bend or shape by means of a swage [ME, t. OF: m. souage]
swagged on the other hand means: to cause to sway, sink or sage.
So the tool for swag> In writing some text for assembly instructions, which would be the proper
and then there's the engineering dictionary definition for swagged:
SWAG :: Silly Wild Ass Guess; Swagged :: estimated, with a extreme lack of precision
Which on Friday becomes SWIG and slogged. :)
We use the term "End Forming"
Yeah, you wouldn't want someone who didn't understand a swage to try it on your parts.
You might also need to consider who the users of the drawings are. I am not familiar with the normal industry terms, and was trying to think of something everyone would understand... Crimped End? Compressed End?
