Terms & Definitions

The following is a list of common definitions, terms and phrases used throughout this manual as they relate to this table saw and woodworking in general. It is important that you read and become familiar with them before assembling, adjusting or operating this machine. Your safety is VERY important to us at Grizzly!

Arbor: Metal shaft extending from the drive mechanism, to which the cutting blade is attached.

Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the saw arbor and blade to an angle between 0¡ and 45¡ to perform an angled cutting operation.

Blade Guard: Metal or plastic mechanism that mounts over the saw blade to prevent acciden- tal contact with the cutting edge.

Crosscut: Table saw operation in which the miter gauge is used to cut across the grain of a piece of wood.

Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that attach to the arbor and are used for cutting grooves and rabbets.

Dado Cut: Table saw operation that uses a dado blade to cut a flat bottomed groove into the face of wood stock.

Featherboard: Safety device used to keep the workpiece against the rip fence or table during a cutting operation. The featherboard also allows the operator to keep his/her hands at a safe distance away from the saw blade while cutting the workpiece.

Kerf: The resulting cut or gap made by a saw blade.

Kickback: A condition in which the wood is thrown back towards an operator at a high rate of speed.

Miter Gauge: A component that controls the wood stock movement while performing a crosscut. Allows for variation of angle cuts such as miter cuts used on a picture frame.

Moulding Head: A cutterhead attached to the arbor that accepts interchangeable moulding knives for profile cutting. We DO NOT recom- mend the use of moulding head cutters.

Parallel: Being an equal distance apart at every point. i.e. the rip fence face is parallel to the side face of the saw blade.

Non-Thru Cut: A sawing operation that requires the removal of the blade guard and splitter. Dado and rabbet cuts are considered Non- Thru Cuts because the blade does not pro- trude above the top face of the wood stock. Always remember to reinstall the blade guard and splitter after performing a non-thru cut.

Perpendicular: Intersecting and forming right angles; at right angles to the vertical and hori- zontal planes. i.e. the blade is perpendicular to the table surface.

Push Paddle: Safety aid used to push a piece of wood stock through a cutting operation.

Push Stick: Safety aid used to push a piece of wood stock through a cutting operation. Usually used when rip cutting.

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