Crosscut saw into the wood. Many sawtooth patterns have four cutters; each cutter that cuts to the left of the blade is paired with another that cuts to the right of the blade. Adjacent to the cutters there is generally a raker. The void on either side of the raker is known as the gullet. A raker is what does the actual removal of the wood that is being cut. The raker follows the cutters, paring the bottom of the kerf like a chisel or plane. As the raker pares the bottom of the kerf, a strip of wood is lifted upward,
Rake angle Rake angle Rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting and machining processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the work. There are three types of rake angles: "positive", "negative", and "neutral". POSITIVE RAKE:-A tool has a positive rake when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at inner side. NEGATIVE RAKE:- A tool has a negative rake angle when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at outer side. Generally, positive rake angles: Negative rake angles, by contrast: A zero rake angle is the easiest
