	Thin kerf circular saw blade - Patent 5351595
		The thin kerf circular saw blade of claim 1, wherein said carbide cutting element is a cemented carbide having a carbide phase comprised predominately of tungsten carbide, a binder phase comprised predominately of a cobalt phase, and a quarternary phase comprising tungsten, cobalt, boron and carbon.
		The thin kerf circular saw blade of claim 1, wherein said carbide cutting element is a cemented carbide having a carbide phase comprised predominately of tungsten carbide, a binder phase comprised predominately of a nickel phase, and a quarternary phase comprising tungsten, nickel, boron and carbon.
		The thin kerf circular saw blade of the present invention is formed by a process of cutting a blank having an arbor hole therein of the desired size and having the desired number of teeth out of a roll of coiled steel.

	Thin Kerf MJ Splitter
		Using Double Thin Kerf MJ Splitters for simultaneous use on both sides of stock is a revolutionary concept that now delivers a mirror copy of the same splitter duty to the off-cut side while keeping the same control on the keeper piece.
		We suggest you to note the height of the saw blade that achieves the 4" space and mark the saw blade height onto the ZCI for this setup as a reminder of the maximum height of saw blade and as a future installation reference.
		This board is for measuring the offset distance for drilling the mounting holes for the second MJ Splitter.

	Thin Kerf Sawing: A Technology Worth Adopting
		Saw kerf, generally speaking is the width of the path cut by the sawteeth as the saw blade moves through the log.
		For example, in cutting a board that is 1.125 inches thick with a saw kerf of 0.300, the total wood usage per pass is 1.425 inches.
		Calculating the saw kerf as a percentage of the total wood usage per pass results in 21% of the wood removed as sawdust or about one-fifth of the log resource.

	Kerf thickness' effect on yield -- and profitability
		In sawing the log, you will have 11 kerfs (two other kerfs are in the slabs which are waste anyway; thus we only have 11 kerfs for 12 pieces of lumber.) The net result is that it takes 16.6 inches of thickness to make 12 pieces of lumber.
		If a chainsaw has a kerf of 5/16 inch and a band has 1/8, the difference is 6/32 inches, which is $60 per MBF more income from a bandmill.
		However, with a narrow kerf, the second piece sawn will be closer to the outside (further from the defective pith).

	Woodworking Discussion Forum - Thin kerf blades
		A 12" TK blade is more likely to incur deflection than a 10", plus your CMS should have no trouble spinning a full kerf for crosscuts.
		That said I've had absolutely no problems with my full kerf until it was phenominally blunt so I don't see why I'd veer from buying another full kerf.
		If you fed it slowly until it had a kerf going to act as a guide, it'd probably work very well...

	No. 845: Kerf
		I bet you don't know what kerf is. Well, today let's find out.
		The width of a saw cut is called kerf.
		The kerf of a lumber saw -- the width of its cut -- might be 3/8 of an inch.

	Advantages of a Thin-Kerf Band Sawmill (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wood-Mizer revolutionized the use of thin-kerf bandsaw blades.
		The thin-kerf of our Wood-Mizer mills is the best alternative available today to efficiently harvest timber-especially over the 1/4"-3/8" kerf on circular mills.
		And Wood-Mizer is the only sawmill/pallet saw manufacturer that produces blades for its own equipment.

		Kerf is the void created by the plasma cutting process, or the amount of metal removed by the plasma arc.
		The operator or programmer enters a value for kerf compensation that is usually equal to the kerf width, (some controls use _ the kerf width).
		As a result, the kerf is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

	Thin Kerf Sawing: A Technology Worth Adopting
		A crude but effective way of calculating the amount of sawdust that develops during sawing is to determine the total wood usage per "pass" (logs being processed as a sawmill generally move or "pass" back and forth through the saw blade).
		For example, in cutting a board that is 1.125 inches thick with a saw kerf of 0.300, the total wood usage per pass is 1.425 inches.
		Calculating the saw kerf as a percentage of the total wood usage per pass results in 21% of the wood removed as sawdust or about one-fifth of the log resource.

		Second: Cut a kerf in a piece of wood and measure the width of the kerf.
		Measuring the blade is not as accurate as measuring the kerf.
		Similar to Dewalt 770, use a model 125 for standard kerf or a model 100 for a thin kerf blade.

	DeWalt Series 40 24 Teeth Thin Kerf Coated Ripping Circular Saw Blade DW7124TK Review at Epinions.com
		The Freud is a full kerf blade that was a huge improvement over my previous poor performing rip blade, but I had really wanted a thin kerf blade all along to rip at a faster pace.
		Obviously the thin kerf body is smaller than the full kerf Freud, but the teeth are also notably smaller and won't withstand as many sharpenings.
		One knock against think kerf blades is deflection of the body during heavy cuts due to the thinner body.

	WoodNet Forums: What to do with thin kerf blades?
		Keep all the thin kerf blades — which are actually terrific blades that waste a little less wood and cut more effortlessly but might be prone to deflection (?) and not worry about duplicating them in full kerf blades, or is full kerf the way to go now?
		While I am a HUGE proponent of full kerf blades on any saw with at least 1-1/2 hp I am also frugal.
		I was unable to effectively use them on the PM2000 because the riving knife and blade guard mounts assumed a full kerf cut.

	PISTORIUS - CUT -N-KERF
		This is achieved by mounting both the mitering and kerfing saws on one movable head on each side of the machine.
		The material is positively clamped face down, from both the top and back to consistently assure the accurate location of the miter and the kerf.
		To reduce the affects of wear, all necessary parts are precision hardened and ground, while the basic construction is of rugged high quality components.

	Software analyzes feasibility of saw kerf reduction for hardwood mills
		Description: Reductions in saw kerf on head rigs and resaws can dramatically increase lumber recovery in hardwood sawmills.
		Reductions in sawing machine kerf or variation always come at some cost in both capital and variable costs.
		Replacement of head rigs and resaws with reduced kerfs and-or sawing variation can be determined by this software.

		The objective of the Kerf project is to provide administrators with new methods for the analysis of an attack on their computer system.
		The Kerf tools fit into the unexplored territory between current approaches that search log data without providing much context and those that report summary statistics about records within the logs.
		Answering these questions allow the administrator to close security holes, determine damage, and collect evidence that may lead to the discovery and capture of the intruder.

	Forrest Woodworker II 10 inch Saw Blade 40T-Thin Kerf W21014 Review at Epinions.com
		The WWII is available in a 30 or 40 tooth configuration, and as a thin kerf or full kerf blade.
		To achieve the combination of smooth cutting and good ripping, Forrest uses relatively few teeth compared to a finishing blade, an alternate top bevel grind (ATB) for clean cuts, and a fairly aggressive rake angle similar to a ripping blade.
		Some thin kerf blades suffer from deflection due to having a thinner body, and can require a blade stiffener or stabilizer.

	Tenryu Thin Kerf Saw Blades
		TENRYU thin kerf blades are cost effective because they remove less material than standard kerf blades.
		A thin blade with improper tensioning will be prone to wobble under stressful cutting conditions and will actually cut a wider kerf than a standard blade.
		TENRYU makes thin kerf saw blades that stand up to heavy duty sawing without wobble by properly tensioning each blade.
