Saw Blade Kerf Calculator
Account for kerf width so your cuts land exactly where they should.
Saw Blade Kerf Calculator
Estimate material lost to saw blade width (“kerf”) and find your usable length after cuts.
Total Kerf Loss: 0.00 in
Usable Material Left: 96.00 in (across 1 board)
Tip: A thicker blade (larger kerf) removes more material per cut — always plan your cut sequence to minimize waste.
How to use
- Measure your blade’s actual kerf.
- Plan sequence of cuts and sum total loss.
Pro tips
- • Wide kerf = sturdier blade but more waste.
- • Account for roughing + finish passes.
