A rake (Old English ''raca'', cognate with Dutch ''hark'', German ''Rechen'', from the root meaning "to scrape together", "heap up") is a broom for outside use; a versatile horticultural implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed transversely to a handle, or tines fixed to a handle, and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, and in gardening, for loosening the soil, light weeding and to make furrows, mounds and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow. Depending on purpose, their materials and form will vary greatly.

Rake Angle
In machining, the rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the workpiece. There are three types of rake angles: ''positive'', ''zero'' or ''neutral'', and ''negative''. * Positive rake: A tool has a positive rake when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at inner side. * Zero rake: A tool has a zero (or neutral) rake when the face of the cutting tool is perpendicular to the cutting edge at inner side. * Negative rake: A tool has a negative rake angle when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at outer side. Positive rake angles generally: * Make the tool more sharp and pointed. This reduces the strength of the tool, as the small included angle in the tip may cause it to chip away. * Reduce cutting forces and power requirements. * Helps in the formation of continuous chips in ductile materials. * Can help avoid the formation of a built-up edge.
