How a Cutter Works

Understanding how cutters work can help you see why proper saw

chain maintenance is so important.

1. The depth gauge rides on the

wood and controls the depth

at which the working corner

bites in.

2. The working corner and side

plate sever the wood fibers

across the grain. This is the

hardest part of the work.

3. The top plate cutting angle

chisels out the severed wood

fibers, lifting them up and out

of the kerf.
