GLOSSARY OFTERMS

SCROLL SAW TERMS

BEVEL SCALE – Represents the degree of table angle from 0° to 45° when the table is tilted for bevel cutting.

BLADE GUARD FOOT – Guards the blade and keeps your workpiece from rising. Helps protect fingers from blade contact.

BLADE GUARD FOOT LOCK KNOB – Allows you to raise or lower the foot and lock it at the desired height.

BLADE HOLDERS – Retain and position the blades.

BLADE STORAGE – Provides convenient easy access to extra blades or wrenches.

QUICK RELEASE TENSION LEVER – Quickly loosens and retightens the blade to its original tension. The tension lever quickly sets and resets the blade tension when performing interior cutting operations or changing blades.

SAWDUST BLOWER – Keeps sawdust from covering the line of sight for more accurate cuts. The best results occur when the blower tube is directed toward the blade and workpiece.

SAWDUST COLLECTION PORT – Allows vacuum hose or attachments to be used to remove the sawdust from under the table and base.

WOODWORKING TERMS

BLADE TOOTH SET – The total width the blade will cut based on the distance from the outside point of one bent tooth to the outside point of the next bent tooth establishing set of teeth.

DEFLECTION – Slight movement of blade in the horizontal direction while the blade is moving inline during cutting operation. This may be caused by the blade following the grain or the path of least resistance.

FEED – Rate of moving material to be cut into the blade.

KERF – The slot cut by the blade.

LEADING EDGE – The front edge of the workpiece that is guided into the blade.

SAW BLADE PATH – Area or line of sight of the workpiece moving in line toward the saw blade edge.

SURFACE – Top of workpiece being cut.

TRAILING EDGE – The end of the workpiece edge last cut by the saw blade.

WORKPIECE – Material on which the cutting operation is being performed.

TABLE LOCK KNOB – Securely locks the table at the angle desired for bevel cutting.

VARIABLE SPEED ON/OFF CONTROL KNOB – Variable switch dial allows greater versatility when cutting a variety of materials. Adjust the speed to the desired setting, between 500 to 1500 strokes per minute (SPM), by turning the control knob clockwise or counter clockwise.
