–  12  – 

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS – Prevents the workpiece 

from being kicked upward or back toward the front of the 

table saw by the spinning blade.
ARBOR – The shaft on which the blade or dado is 

mounted.
BEVEL CUT – An angle cut made through the face of 

the workpiece.
BLADE BEVEL SCALE – Measures the angle the blade 

is tilted when set for a bevel cut.
BLADE ELEVATION AND TILTING HANDWHEEL – 

Raises and lowers the blade or tilts the blade to angle 

between 0

o

 and 45

o

 for bevel cuts.

BLADE GUARD – Clear plastic cover that positions 

itself over the blade while cutting.
COMPOUND CUT – A simultaneous bevel and miter 

cut.
CROSSCUT – A cut made across the width of the 

workpiece.
DADO – Special cutting blades that are used to cut 

grooves in a workpiece.
FEATHERBOARD – When ripping a workpiece on your 

table saw, this keeps it firmly and safely against the 

rip fence. It also helps prevent chatter, gouging, and 

dangerous kickback. 
FREEHAND – Performing a cut without using a rip 

fence, miter gauge, hold down or other proper device to 

prevent the workpiece from twisting during the cutting 

operation.
GUM – A sticky sap from wood products.
HEEL – Misalignment of the blade.
JAMB NUT – Nut used to lock another nut in place on a 

threaded rod or bolt.
KERF – The amount of material removed by the blade 

cut.
KICKBACK – Occurs when the saw blade binds in the 

cut and violently thrusts the workpiece back toward the 

operator.
MITER CUT – An angle cut made across the width of 

the workpiece.
MITER GAUGE – A guide used for crosscutting 

operations that slides in the table top channels (grooves) 

located on either side of the blade. It helps make 

accurate straight or angle crosscuts.

NON-THROUGH SAWING - refers to any cut that does 

not completely cut through the workpiece.
OVERLOAD RESET SWITCH – Protects the motor if it 

overloads during operation, provides a way to restart the 

saw.
PUSH STICK – Used to push workpieces when 

performing ripping operations.
PUSH BLOCK – Used for ripping operation when the 

workpiece is too narrow to use a push stick. Always use a 

push block for rip widths less than 2 in (50.8 mm).
RESAWING - flipping material to make a cut the saw is 

not capable of making in one pass. 

                                

                                Resawing IS NOT recommended.
REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) – The number of 

turns completed by a spinning object in one minute.
RIP FENCE – A guide used for rip cutting which allows 

the workpiece to cut straight.
RIPPING – Cutting with the grain of the wood or along 

the length of the workpiece.
RIVING KNIFE – A metal piece of the guard assembly 

located behind and moves with the blade. Slightly 

thinner than the saw blade, it helps keep the kerf open 

and prevents kickback.
SAW BLADE PATH – The area of the workpiece or 

table top directly in line with the travel of the blade or the 

part of the workpiece that will be cut.
SET – The distance between two saw blade tips, bent 

outward in opposite directions to each other. The further 

apart the tips are, the greater the set.
TABLE INSERT – Insert that is removed from the table 

to install / remove blades. When dado cutting, a dado 

insert plate must be used.
THROUGH SAWING –  Making a cut completely 

through the length or width of a workpiece.
WORKPIECE – Material to be cut.

NOTE: Blade guard assembly is removed for purposes 
of illustration only.
