Question

when using a circular saw, be sure to cut on the waste side of the cut mark to allow for the blade’s ______
options: (1) setbur (2) kerf (3) distortion (4) stroke

Explanation:

When using a circular saw, the blade has a width (kerf). Cutting on the waste side accounts for the material removed by the blade's kerf, ensuring the desired piece is the correct size. "Arbor" is the shaft holding the blade, "distortion" is shape change, and "stroke" is a movement, none fitting here.

Answer:

The correct option is the one with "kerf" (assuming the first option was a typo and the second is "kerf"). If the options are:

• (First option, e.g., A) arbor
• (Second option, e.g., B) kerf
• (Third option, e.g., C) distortion
• (Fourth option, e.g., D) stroke

Then the answer is B. kerf
