Glossary of Terms for Woodworking
Bed
The combination of infeed and outfeed table surfaces which support the workpiece during a cutting operation.
Bevel/Chamfer
Removing wood along the edge of a board to make that edge straight, smooth and angled to the board face which is against the fence.
Cutter Guard

Depth of cut

Hold-Down/Push-Blocks
They are required for your own safety. They are used to hold your workpieces against the table and fence when planing, rabbeting or jointing.
Infeed Table

Jointing
The removal of wood along the edge of a board so as to make that edge straight, smooth and square to the board face which is against the fence.
Kickback
An uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the workpiece back toward the operator by the rotating cutter head.
Leading End
The end of the workpiece which is pushed into the cutter head first.
Outfeed Table
The section of a jointer bed which supports the workpiece after it passes over the cutter head.
Planing
Removing wood from the widest surface or face of a board so as to make it flat and smooth.
Rabbet
A notch cut into the edge of workpiece.
Resin
A sticky, sap based substance that has hardened.
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one minute.
Throwing of pieces in a manner similar to a kickback.
Trailing End
