==Description==
In [[manufacturing]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering mechanical engineering] a '''groove''' is a long and narrow indentation built into a [[material]], generally for the [[purpose]] of allowing another material or part to move within the groove and be [[guided]] by it. Examples include:
*A canal cut in a hard material, usually metal. This canal can be round, oval or an arc in order to receive another component such as a boss, a tongue or a gasket. It can also be on the [[circumference]] of a dowel, a bolt, an axle or on the outside or inside of a tube or pipe etc. This canal may receive a circlip an o-ring or a gasket.
*A depression on the entire circumference of a cast or machined wheel, a pulley or sheave. This depression may receive a cable, a rope or a belt.
*A longitudinal [[channel]] formed in a hot rolled rail [[profile]] such as a grooved rail. This groove is for the flange on a train wheel.
