Tech/Engineering - Geology / Drilling machines
Italian term or phrase: scarottatura
La macchina descritta non può essere usata in nessun altro luogo che non sia quello che la ditta cliente ha destinato inizialmente per la scarottatura per foratura e tagliare attacchi di colata di getti in lega d’alluminio per bassa pressione.

core sampling
Explanation:
This seems to be one of those many words invented by Italian tech text writers - It appears to come from carotaggio which is to drill a core sample and then another prefix was added to come up with scarotaggio, to remove core samples, where a new suffix, which tends to mean an action of doing what is in the prefix or root was put in to end up with a newly coined word, scarottatura, as it has no hits in any of the references I could find. This is my take for what it's worth

excavating


Explanation:
Hallo,

'scarottare' variant of 'scaruttare (<salento dialect) Italian 'disotterare'
(probable Parasynthetic Verb)
s- (Px)+carotta (s)+are . Carotta = Buca
It means actually 'excavate', 'dig up'
