Explanation:
I believe the best translation would be
"Pour permettre la supression ...""
To skive is to peel or cut in slices.
More literal translations might not work so well here because the connotation could be different in French, but you can try with
peler, couper, trancher.

agree  Daniel Marquis: Yes. See this sentence: Next, the laminate is passed through a skiving table where the raised pattern is skived off to expose the multi-colored pattern formed by the underlying layers.

  -> Thanks, Daniel. I hadn't thought this word was still in use. I just happen to know it because it has a Norse origin where it is still very much in use. Danish: "at skive" ="to slice", "en skive" = "a slice"
