Unit 5 - Construction of netting/webbing
5.3.Shaping of webbing
There are two ways of tapering with hand braided webbing i.e. baiting and creasing. However in the case of a machine made webbing, cutting has to be invariably followed to obtain the required taper.
5.3.1.Baiting
Baiting derived from the word abate which means decreasing It is reducing the number or meshes in concerned rows at regular intervals to shape the webbing. For this two half meshes of the previous round are picked up in a single knot of the succeeding round. The degree of taper required decides the rate of baiting. It is calculated in the following way.

Where
a/b is the baiting ratio
M1 is the number of meshes at the top of the webbing
M2 is the less number of meshes at the bottom of the webbing
D is the number of meshes in the depth of the webbing
