  1. 2. Powered saw that cuts by using thin metal blade running in a continuous loop around two or more large drive wheels, used for making tight-radius curved cuts or for resawing wood
  2. 3. A straight guide on a tool such as a table saw or router table to keep the material a set parallel distance from the blade or cutter.
  3. 6. A form of milling that cuts wood along its grain. The table saw is the best machine to make this.
  4. 7. The main metal part of a tool. In the case of a saw it is the part that has the teeth, for a hand plane it is the cutter with a sharp edge
  5. 13. This is a measuring device that will feature increments in either the metric or imperial system or both. They can be made of wood plastic or metal with metal being the preferred option for woodworking
  6. 14. System of individual saw blades that are stacked to create a 3 sided joint
  7. 15. Wood derived from needleleaf trees—spruce, pine, fir, and cedar, for example. Commonly known as conifers, these trees produce seeds encased in cones, and are also called gymnosperms.
  8. 16. A guide with an adjustable head that fits in a slot and slides across a power tool table to cut material at an angle.
  9. 17. The grade of particles in sandpaper or sharpening stones that determines the aggressiveness of the cut.
  10. 18. The dangerous mishap that occurs if a spinning blade or bit catches a workpiece and throws it toward the machine operator.
  11. 19. This is a mechanical device cut into wood to create strength when two or more pieces of wood need to be attached together.
  12. 20. An imperial measure, 1/12th of a foot, equal to 2.54 cm.

  1. 1. The figure or design in wood that is made up of the different layers in a piece of wood and the texture of the wood fibers for that specific species.
  2. 4. To cut wood across the grain
  3. 5. Lumber from the group of trees with broad leaves, this has no reference to the actual hardness of the wood.
  4. 8. Growth-ring pattern of wood as seen in cross-section relative to the tree
  5. 9. A safety device used to push a workpiece past a blade or bit during a machining operation while keeping your hands out of harm's way
  6. 10. The pattern made by growth rings in wood on the greatest surface of a board.
  7. 11. A square-cornered channel similar to a dado, but cut parallel to the wood grain.
  8. 12. To cut a workpiece slightly oversize in thickness, width, and/or length, prior to trimming it to final dimensions.
  9. 13. An L-shaped channel cut along the edge or end of a workpiece, typically using a rabbeting bit or dado set.
