marca transversal/ perpendicular a la fibra

Estamos hablando de la veta de la madera, o sea, la dirección en la que las fibras naturales de la madera van. Lo que da a entender el texto es que hay que colocar el hilo de la hacha en una marca o corte pequeño (se supone hecha previamente) que crea un ángulo exactamente perpendicular (a 90 grados) a la dirección de la fibra.
