Induction motors are typically found on the larger stationary type tools such as radial arm saws, scroll saws, table saws, band saws, belt/disc sanders, drill presses and planers. They are very quiet with a long life since they do not have any brushes and are therefore more reliable. However, these motors are much larger than the comparable Universal or Permanent Magnet motor and have a higher cost and are limited to lower speeds.

The direction a workpiece is fed into a blade or cutter.

A door that sits within the cabinet opening such that the front face of the door is flush with the front of the cabinet or face frame.

This is a door that has a 3/8" x 3/8" rabbet cut all the way around the door on the back edge. This cut allows half the thickness of the door to go back into the cabinet and leaves the front half of the door overlaying the cabinet or face frame. It is also sometimes called a lipped door.

Intarsia (pronounced "in-tar'-see-a") is a woodworking technique based on a 15th century Italian artform. It is similar to inlay, but where inlay is flat, intarsia is three-dimensional. This effect is achieved by a series of steps. First, a two-dimensional pattern is developed on heavy translucent paper. The image is then divided into smaller pieces, much like a jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is designated with a grain line direction, which will help create the dimensional look of the completed work. The pieces are then cut out individually from a variety of wood species that have different colors and grains. The individual wood pieces are shaped and fitted together to form the three-dimensional picture.
