Support your material so it is not able to close as you are in the cut.
A kerf is the width of the cut made by a saw blade in woodworking. It is used to create precise cuts and allows for the saw blade to move smoothly through the wood without causing damage.
The opening created by the wood removed by a saw blade is called a "kerf." The kerf represents the width of the material that is lost during the cutting process and can vary depending on the type and thickness of the saw blade used. It is important to consider the kerf when measuring and cutting wood, as it affects the final dimensions of the pieces being worked on.
Rip saw blades require a greater kerf to prevent the pinching of the blade by the stock.
It is called a Kerf
The kerf on a saw blade is the width of the cut it makes in the material. A wider kerf can result in more material being removed, but it also requires more power and can lead to more waste. A narrower kerf can make more precise cuts but may require more passes to cut through thicker materials. The kerf size affects the efficiency and accuracy of the cutting process.
To ensure a straight and accurate cut when sawing lumber, you should begin the cut with the saw blade aligned with the intended cutting line. This will help create a precise kerf.
"kerf" cut. Rabbet? Dado? Or just the cut line? Your question is a bit vague as to what type of cut. Kerf is the alternating offset of saw blade teeth. It provides the clearance needed to make room for the rest of the blade to pass through, otherwise it would bind in the cut.
The set on the teeth makes the kerf (width of the cut) slightly wider then the blade so the saw can clear the dust from the cut and the blade won't bind up.
