Definition of kerf in industrial cutting: the width of material removed by the cut, how it is measured, the substrate-by-substrate range.

Definition of kerf clearance in industrial cutting: the lateral gap between the knife and the substrate after the cut, and why a positive kerf clearance is.

Definition of land in industrial cutting: the small flat behind the cutting edge that supports the hone, used on shear blades and heavy-duty slitter knives for.

Definition of lip angle in industrial cutting: the angle of the cutting edge of a granulator rotor knife, equivalent to the rake angle on a slitter.
