RE: Kerf Loss
The origin of the word is English according to the Woodright on Public TV.
RE: Kerf Loss
Kerf loss is why you can’t cut two 4 foot pieces out of an 8 foot sheet. Take 0.150” out of the middle for the width of the cut (kerf.)
Incidentally a reduction in kerf of 0.003” can be worth $50,000 a year to a big saw mill.
