When you begin to run off the line, as you will be pretty sure to do, twist the saw a little with the wrist as you go on, which will bring it back to the line, because of the kerf being wider than the thickness of the saw-blade.
If the stop wears loose in the hole, a saw kerf is sometimes made lengthways in one side and a bent piece of springy wire inserted, or a flat spring fastened on the side (Fig.
In this kerf a slip of wood can be fitted and glued.
Make a saw-kerf at the upper end of the line and another beside it in which to catch the end of the line, or fasten the line around a nail.
By letting the saw run in the kerf thus made, you can cut pieces off square.
Make the notch or kerf as wide as the radius, that is, half the diameter of the tree trunk (Fig.
Cut your kerf on the side toward the landing place, let the notch go half-way or a trifle more through the trunk.
If he wants the tree to fall toward the west he marks the west side of the trunk; then he marks the top and bottom of the space he intends chopping out for the first kerf or notch (Fig.
When the first kerf is finished and cut half-way through the tree, space for the kerf on the opposite side of the tree is marked a few inches higher than the first one (Fig.
Cut a small horizontal kerf or notch at the same height on opposite sides of both trees, get two strong poles (green wood), fit them in the wedges and nail them to the trees; then lash them firmly in place.
The kerf is chopped out by cutting first from the top A, then from the bottom B (Fig.
If the chip is short, the opening of the kerf will be narrow and your hatchet will become wedged, obliging you to double your labor by enlarging the kerf.
When the kerf is well started, the whole weight of the saw may be applied.
If the last joint in a picture-frame does not quite match, a kerf may be sawn at the junction of the two pieces, which can then be drawn close together.
Until the kerf is well started, the saw should be held so that the teeth just touch the wood.
Then as the saw is gradually lowered, the kerf will extend quite across the wood.
The plane-bit fits into the saw-kerf K, and in grinding is easily held firmly in place by the hand.
It cuts with great rapidity and the kerf is narrow.
If the saw binds and buckles because of the springing together of the wood, the kerf may be wedged open with a screwdriver or a bit of waste wood.
As soon as the saw is well within the trunk, the sawyers drive iron wedges into the kerf behind it, partly to keep the weight of the trunk from binding the saw, and partly to direct its fall.
The cut is made on the pulling stroke, and hence the kerf can be very narrow.
The face may then be gaged with a series of lines so that every other space will be equal to the required thickness of each slat, and the alternate spaces be just sufficient for the saw kerf and dressing.
The reason for making A and B so far apart is that if you begin with too narrow a kerf your axe gets wedged in the cut more easily.
Aim your kerf so that the tree will fall clear of other trees, and not get hung up in their branches.
This bending is called the set of the saw, and should be sufficient to make the kerf about two-thirds wider than the thickness of the saw blade.
The next tooth would make a mark parallel to F, but on the other side of the saw slot or kerf as it is called, still leaving the fibre unsevered at its ends where it should be severed first.
Third, the saw will run out of true sideways, cutting a wider kerf than it should, thus wasting timber while requiring more power to drive.
In the artificial saw the teeth are alternately bent toward the sides, or out of the right line, in order that the fissure or kerf may be made sufficiently wide for the blade to move easily.
The first chips that flew were ten inches long, but they quickly dwindled as the kerf sank in.
The butt-kerf was two-thirds through the tree when Yan called "One minute up.
After cutting one saw kerf a thicker piece is made and a second saw kerf cut; the waste between the saw kerfs is now removed with an 1/8 in.
If any difficulty is experienced in cutting the kerf true and square, you may resort to the method shown at C, Fig.
With a fine tenon or dovetail saw, cut the sawkerf as at Fig.
The pins are then cut in the usual way, care being taken that the saw kerf be on the outside of the marks, otherwise the pins will finish too slack to engage with the tails.
All that is necessary is to place the timber in position and bang the bag on the top of the saw-cuts, when sufficient powder will pass through the bag and down the saw kerf to mark the exact positions of the lines.
Into each saw kerf a wedge is inserted and the joint glued up.
Two pieces of wood are glued one on the top of the other, the required angle is transferred thereto, and the saw kerf made.
The drawer front is placed in the vice, and the drawer side held upon it, whilst the saw blade is placed in the saw kerf and drawn smartly forward.
You will this time only have to watch the gauge mark on the edge of the wood, because the saw will readily follow in the saw kerf already made.
The reason why boys find it so difficult to saw, is because the teeth do not generally spread very much, and so the kerf is narrow.
I found, however, that the bottom of the kerf thus formed was convex longitudinally, whereas in the ancient examples it was slightly concave.
In sawing the ends the saw kerf is cut from the waste ends of the stick.
The saw kerf is about 3/32" wide for a nine-tooth saw set for unkilned lumber or dimension stuff.
A triangular or diamond shaped point will cut faster and leave a smoother saw kerf and last longer than a needle point.
Breakfast dispatched, the boys hurried over to watch the two-bitted axe biting its hugekerf in the side of a ten-foot trunk.
The object of this is to make the teeth cut a wider kerf than the thickness of the blade, and thereby cause the saw to travel freely.
He will generally make a failure of the attempt to start the saw true to the line, to say nothing of following the line so the kerf is true and square with the board.
Where the whole body of the tooth is bent, the saw will run smoothly and easily through the kerf and produce a smooth-cut surface.
The work should be so laid out that the saw kerf is on the discarded side of the material.
In picture frames the mitered corners may have a saw kerf (C) cut across the corners, as shown in Fig.
On the other hand, if the rip saw is used for cross-cutting purposes, the saw kerf will be rough and jagged.
The spur of the bit will follow the kerf from either end, and the result will be a meeting of the holes, almost perfectly in the center.
To make the hole straight by this method, split the wood or saw it in halves, then make a knife kerf in both pieces on a center line of the hole and glue the pieces together.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "kerf" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: blaze; cleft; cut; depression; gash; hack; incision; indentation; jag; nick; score
