5. SAW KERF (CUT EDGE) OF STOCK ROUGH -
TOOTH MARKS LEFT ON EDGE OF SAW KERF.
NOTE: This condition is commonly called "HEEL" or
"TO E".
a. Crosscutting or Miter Cutting
Heeling will tend to slide the workpiece toward the
right along the guide fence, as the cut is being made,
and make a square cut almost impossible. A blade
with "toe" will tend to slide the board to the left
along the fence.
Refer to step 5 under Alignment Procedure Section
- "Squaring Blade to Fence".
