I’ll take a stab at it from another direction.. Just to start, you need to understand that the kerf is applied to the whole object, so it will grow or shrink depending on the kerf you set.
It’s always nice to tell us what kerf you are using and how you arrived at that value. It helps us help you clarify anything that may be an issue.
I like to use the handsaw to demonstrate kerf. If you mark lines 16" apart on a piece of wood, then cut down the line, the resulting board will be short by the width of the kerf of the saw.
To get a proper length, you have to align the edge of the blade to the line, not the center. This is a kerf adjustment.
Kerf is applied to the entire object.
I think my kerf for acrylic is around 0.2mm and for basswood it’s about 0.164mm
@BillieRuben made a much better tool…
