Which term is used for the width of the cut made by saw ?

  • A.Space
  • B.Gullet
  • C.Pitch
  • D.Kerf

Answer: D

The width of the cut made by a saw is called the kerf.

The kerf is slightly wider than the saw blade because the teeth are set (bent alternately) or swaged. Kerf width matters in sawmilling, since everything inside it becomes sawdust and is lost from the log.

The gullet is the space at the base of each tooth that carries sawdust out of the cut, and the pitch is the distance between the tips of adjacent teeth.
