In this regard, what is the kerf of a circular saw blade?about 1.110”One may also ask, what is a full kerf blade? Full Kerf. Kerf is the term for the width of the carbide teeth. A full kerf is 1/8″, whereas thin kerf is just 3/32″. As you can imagine, it takes less machinery muscle to force the thin kerf blade through solid wood than it does the full kerf. On long rips, for example, lower powered saws might bog down. People also ask, how do you account for saw blade kerf? Total width minus kerf divided by two. So 3 1/2″ – 1/8″ divided by 2= 1 11/16″. So yes, you need to subtract 1/2 the blade kerf from each piece, or bump the fence over 1/16″.What is a kerf cut?Kerf refers to the width of cut a sawblade makes when it’s cut through wood. When you’re cutting a board you have to allow for the width of the sawblade and its teeth when you’re cutting. Kerf cutting is making many kerf cuts (cuts the width of your sawblade) along a piece of wood.
