Glossary.of.Terms
Arbor: Rotating metal shaft to which saw blade
is mounted that extends from the drive
mechanism.
Bevel Edge Cut: Tilting the arbor and saw
blade to an angle between 0° and 45° to
cut a beveled edge onto a workpiece.
Blade Guard: Metal or plastic safety device
that mounts over the saw blade. Its
function is to prevent the operator from
coming into contact with the saw blade.
Crosscut: Cutting operation in which the fence
is used to cut across the grain, or the miter
gauge is used to cut across the shortest
width of the workpiece.
Dado Blade: Blade or set of blades that are
used to cut wide grooves and rabbets.
Dado Cut: "Non-through" cutting operation that
uses a dado blade to cut a flat-bottomed
groove into the face of the workpiece.

after the saw blade passes through during
a cutting operation.
Kickback: An event in which the workpiece is
