    Many thanks and merci for answering my question. Thanks to your help
    I think I have got to the bottom of this. 

    My view is that "mitrailler" is being used in two different ways.
    When the stone-setter says the piece is "deje mitraille" I have
    concluded it is "already laid out". When he uses "mitrailler" a
    second time I believe he is referring to flaring the pilot holes. And
    as so many of you pointed out, filet is thread/bright cut and the
    whole text is about a bright cut bead setting. Newman's Illustrated
    Dictionary also refers to a "thread and grain setting." 

    Hopefully I'll be able to help out with French/English terminology
    to pay back my debt ;-) 

Sandra
