  1. The answer is A: softens the area of a blade around the weld.

    • Explanation: Annealing is a heat treatment process that softens metal, making it more ductile and relieving internal stresses. In the context of a band saw blade, annealing is used to soften the area around the weld to prevent brittleness and potential cracking.
  2. The answer is D: saw should be shut off.

    • Explanation: If a band saw blade becomes jammed, the safest course of action is to shut off the saw. This prevents further damage to the blade, the workpiece, and the saw itself, and ensures the safety of the operator.
  3. The answer is A: size of the workpiece that can be cut.

    • Explanation: The throat plate, also known as the throat opening, determines the maximum size of the workpiece that can be cut because it limits the width of the material that can pass through the saw. It does not directly affect the depth of the cut, thickness of material, or size of the blade.
