sawmarks
Blade's teeth imprints
Sawmarks are the lines, grooves, or ridges left on a surface by a saw blade.
Woodworkers sand them away for a smooth finish, while forensic analysts study them to identify which tool made a cut.
In stonework and lumber, visible sawmarks may indicate rough or unfinished material: The sawmarks on the beam showed it came straight from the mill.
