That would be the kerf or widest part of the tooth cut. A carbide tooth kerf thickness varies for finess of cut and minimal groove. Good radial skilsaw blades have carbide tooth 1/16" thick planing kerfs. Nm

This is a very generic term used by many different people for many different things.

In our business when we tell someone they need to take the thickness of a sawblade off of the wood it is usually just enough to get the two board not to overlap. To us that would be about an 1/8".
