Glossary
Bevel Cut - A cut made across a workpiece that results in an angle other
than 90˚ to the table surface.
Cross Cut - A cutting operation across the grain or width of the
workpiece.
Head Screw - The threaded shaft on each side of the machine by which
the head is raised and lowered when activated by the head crank.
Joint or Jointing - A trim cut parallel to the grain of the wood on the
edges of a board to create 90-degree angle with the top and bottom
surface. A joint will create a smooth and, most important, straight edge.
Often used in preparation for a glue joint to attach the board to another
piece of wood.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display – The two-line text display found above the
keypad.
Miter Cut - A vertical cut made at any angle other than 0˚ across the
workpiece.
Molding - A shaping cut that gives a varied profile to the workpiece.
Pitch - A sticky, sap-based substance found in some woods.
Raster Carving - A carving produced by taking many small passes with
the carving bit, building the image one line at a time.
Rip Cut - A cut made parallel to the grain or length of the workpiece.
Rout - To hollow, scoop or carve out.
Snipe - An unwanted depression formed near the end of a workpiece
caused by the uneven transition of the workpiece from one support
surface to another. Minimize snipe by ensuring that the auxiliary outfeed
supports are properly adjusted. The free end of the workpiece should also
be well supported so that its weight does not place lifting pressure at the
end of the workpiece being carved.
Squaring Cut - A smoothing trim cut across the grain of the wood on the
end of a board to create 90-degree angles with the top, bottom, and side
edges.
Vector Cut - A cutting operation that is composed of a group of strokes
from one point to another. These can be lines, circles, splines or any
other number of geometric elements.
Workpiece - The item on which the cutting operation is being performed.
The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends, and
edges.
