Stub-short; stub-shot.

1. The unsawed portion of a plank where it is split from the bolt or log. The saw-kerf reaches nearly to the end of the log, in gig-back saws; the plank is then split off the remainder of the distance: this remainder forms a short stub.


2. (Turning.) The portion by which an object to be turned is grasped or chucked. It projects beyond the ultimate surface of the object, and is cut off when the shaping is finished.
