GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR WOODWORKING (Continued)
Through Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends
completely through the thickness of the workpiece.
Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being done.
The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to
as faces, ends, and edges.
Zero Clearance Throat Plate
A plastic throat plate inserted in the miter table that
allows for blade clearance. When you make your first
cut with your compound miter saw, the saw blade cuts
a slot through the throat plate the exact width of the
blade. This provides for a zero clearance kerf that
minimizes workpiece tear-out.
