TERMINOLOGY
1. Blow out: A condition in which the saw blade blows out the
grain of a workpiece.
2. Chipping: A condition that occurs when the saw blade lifts
and tears the wood fibers as it exits the material.
3. Crosscutting: Cutting wood against the grain.
4. Cut off: Cutting a piece to length (Same as Crosscut)
5. Hook Angles: The amount of forward or backward lean each
tooth has. The angle is measured by the intersection of two
imaginary lines. The first line is drawn flush with the face of the
tooth, the second line is drawn vertically through the center of
the arbor hole.
6. Kerf: The width of the cut made when the blade passed
through the material, determined by the width of the tooth.
7. Miter: A finish cut made at an angle.

8. Negative Hook Angle: The negative face of the tooth
is much less likely to cause chipping in the surface of the
material because it is oriented in a counter-rotation direction.
This will prevent self feeding.
9. Non-Ferrous: Any metal not containing iron.
10. Positive Hook Angle: The higher the hook angle, the more
aggressive the blade will cut the material. This is great for
getting through a lot of material fast.
11. Ripping: Cutting wood in the same direction as the grain.
12. Run out: The amount of wobble in a saw blade, also known
as warp.
13. Thick Wall: Cutting a non ferrous metal over 1/4" thick
14. Thin Wall: Cutting a non ferrous metal under 1/4" thick
