GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKING
Arbor
The shaft on which a blade or cutting tool is mounted.
Bevel Cut
A cutting operation made with an angled blade.
Crosscut
A cutting or shaping operation made across the grain of the
workpiece.
Compound Miter Cut
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter angle and
a bevel angle at the same time.
Freehand
Performing a cut without using a fence, miter gage, fixture,
work clamp, or other proper device to keep the workpiece
from twisting during the cut.
Gum
A sticky, sap based residue from wood products.
Miter Cut
A cutting operation made with the wood at any angle other
than 90 degrees.
Resin
A sticky, sap base substance that has hardened.
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one
minute.
Saw Blade Path
The area over, under, behind, or in front of the blade. As it
applies to the workpiece, that area which will be, or has been,
cut by the blade.
Set
The distance that the tip of the sawblade tooth is bent (or set)
outward from the face of the blade.
Throw-Back
Throwing of a workpiece in a manner similar to a kickback.
Usually associated with a cause other than the kerf closing,
such as a workpiece not being against the fence, being
dropped into the blade, or being placed inadvertently in
contact with the blade.
Through Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends completely
through the thickness of the workpiece.
Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being done. The
surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces,
ends, and edges.
Zero Clearance Throat Plate
A plastic throat plate inserted in the miter table that allows for
blade clearance. When you make your first cut with your
compound miter saw, the saw blade cuts a slot through the
throat plate the exact width of the blade. This provides for a
zero clearance kerf that minimizes workpiece tear-out.
No Hands Zone
The area between the marked lines on the left and right side
of the miter table base. This zone is identified by no hands
zone labels placed inside the marked lines on the miter table
base.
