Bite (feed per tooth)		The depth of cut per tooth, inch.  In general, the formula is: bite = distance between teeth (in inches) times feed speed (in feet per minute) divided by saw velocity (in feet per minute).  More simply it is the distance the log or cant advances into the saw between successive teeth.
