Use generally for the process of striking something or someone repeatedly. In the context of bookbinding, use specifically for the process of flattening the leaves or gatherings of a text block before sewing or stitching by striking them repeatedly with a beating hammer, in order to compress and flatten them, or, in rebinding, to remove the backing shoulders.
