What is the depth of the saw's throat?
The space inside the frame is called the "throat". The measurement from the top of the frame to the saw teeth is called "throat depth". This measurement determines how deep you can cut the material before it hits the frame. |
The deeper the jaw of the saw, the deeper the saw will cut into the material. Some gang saws have different throat depths to choose from. These are the most common depth values, but may not apply to all models: | ||
