Common Terms

In order to increase user safety awareness and understanding, we have provided a list of common terms associated with table saws. We will refer to many of these terms throughout this manual, so the time you spend learning these terms will result in an increased knowledge of table saw applications.

Arbor: A metal shaft extending from the drive mechanism that is the mounting location for the saw blade.

Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the arbor and saw blade to an angle between 0˚ and 45˚ to cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece.

Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device that mounts over the saw blade. Its function is to prevent the operator from coming into contact with the saw blade.

Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the miter gauge is used to cut across the shortest width of the workpiece.

Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are used to cut grooves and rabbets.

Dado Cut: Cutting operation that uses a dado blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the face of the workpiece.

Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the workpiece against the rip fence and against the table surface.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap in the workpiece after the saw blade passes through during a cutting operation.

Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is propelled back towards the operator at a high rate of speed.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every point along two given lines or planes (i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the face of the saw blade).

Non-Through Cut: A sawing operation that requires the removal of the blade guard and splitter or the riving knife. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non-Through Cuts because the blade does not protrude above the top face of the wood stock. Deep Non-Through Cuts must be made with multiple, light passes to reduce chance of kickback. Always remember to re-install the blade guard and riving knife after per- forming a non-through cut.

Perpendicular: Lines or planes that intersect and form right angles (i.e. the blade is per- pendicular to the table surface).

Push Stick: Safety device used to push the workpiece through a cutting operation. Used most often when rip cutting thin workpieces.

Rabbet: Cutting operation that creates an L-shaped channel along the edge of the workpiece.

Riving Knife or Splitter: Metal plate located behind the blade. It maintains the kerf opening in the wood when performing a cutting operation.

Straightedge: A tool used to check the flat- ness, parallelism, or consistency of a surface(s).

Through Cut: A sawing operation in which the workpiece is completely sawn through.

Rip Cut: Cutting operation in which the rip fence is used to cut across the widest width of the workpiece.
