Hardened teeth for excavator
Context:
Le conduit 52 présente une forme qui autorise la rotation de la clavette 7 autour d’un axe parallèle ou faiblement incliné par rapport à l’axe X33. On prévoit que, en section transversale par rapport à l’axe X33, le conduit 52 est de forme circulaire pour l’essentiel de sa circonférence. De préférence, comme montré sur la figure 8, une portion 57 de la circonférence de la section circulaire du conduit 52 est ovée, c’est à dire en dépression avec un rayon localement augmenté par rapport au rayon de la forme circulaire du reste de la circonférence. Grâce à cette disposition, le pivotement de la clavette 7 dans le conduit 52 est facilité, car la portion ovée 57 permet de réduire la friction, en étant radialement à distance de la clavette 7.
Translated as ovate, which I think is a term used in biology.
Please see next question before answering this one.
TIA Chris.

Backhoe bucket teeth
AR Plowboy: "This is on a Case 580 SK with the D145051 bucket. I know the mounts that the teeth fit on are worn some as it didn't have any teeth on it when I bought the machine […] Also are the holes for the pin that go through the shank round or egg shaped? I really suspect they are wore [yup, Plowboy ;-) ) like that".

" There is no counter-sink in the hole, its a tiny bit round like an egg, is it suppose to be perfectly round? I can see then ridges like your saying don't sit where they suppose to sit, the pin is too long"

Excavator bucket repair
" Yesterday we got in an excavator bucket that needs some repair to the mounting holes. We have never worked on one of these before and am wondering if there are outfits that manufacture bushings for repair work such as this.
I think our plan of attack is to weld up the eggshaped holes, bore them and then insert bushings to get the holes back to size."

: Even though "egg-shaped" is common in everyday language, I wouldn't use it in technical contexts.

oval
Might I propose employing the term "oval" in this context?

: Or ovoid or ovate - they all mean the same thing. I do think the asker could have considered the possibility that the translator was right and it wasn't a biological term. http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/ové/57027

philgoddard
: ''Shaped' is a tautology, just as you can't say 'circular-shaped' or 'rectangular-shaped'. And, as I said, ovoid is a synonym of oval.// 'Egg' is a noun, so 'egg-shaped' is fine. 'Ovoid' is a noun and an adjective.

"oviod" is a sophisticated term, used in technical and scientific contexts. If "shaped" were superfluous, this applies to "egg-shaped" as well and must be graded similarily. Cf. your grading to "egg-shaped"
