yosef asked:

What Av Melachah is one violating if he performs kotesh (pounding)?

yosef, Boston, America

The Kollel replies:

Rashi writes that Kotesh is similar to 'Dash' (threshing). This is because its function is to remove the outer kernel of the wheat grains, which is basically what Dash achieves.
