Product Information
Full details
The Minotaur 250mm Tenon Saw is an essential tool for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts who require precision in joinery, moulding, and structural cuts. Its standout benefit is the dual-stroke cutting action that significantly reduces physical effort, though users should be mindful that the fine 12 TPI tooth count is optimized for precision rather than rapid, heavy-duty material removal.

FAQs
Can I use this saw on metal?
No, this saw is specifically designed for woodworking. Using it on metal will ruin the triple-ground teeth immediately.
Does this saw cut on the pull stroke?
Yes, the triple-ground teeth are engineered to cut effectively on both the push and the pull stroke.
How do I keep the blade from rusting?
The blade is coated in anti-rust oil. If you wipe it clean, ensure you re-apply a light coat of machine oil before storing it in a humid environment.
What does 12 TPI mean?
12 TPI stands for 12 Teeth Per Inch. This indicates a fine cut, suitable for precision joinery.
Can I sharpen the teeth myself?
Due to the complexity of the triple-ground tooth design, it is recommended to replace the saw rather than sharpen the teeth manually.
Troubleshooting
Blade wandering during the start of the cut
Use a light score or a shallow starter cut with a pencil mark to guide the blade teeth before applying full pressure.
Saw feels sluggish while cutting
Check if the blade is gummed with wood resin; clean the blade with a specialized cleaning solution and ensure your cuts are not putting lateral stress on the blade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minotaur Tenon Saw, follow these maintenance practices:
- Pre-Use Care: Wipe down the blade with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess anti-rust oil before your first cut to prevent residue buildup on your timber.
- Storage: Always use the provided plastic teeth protector when the tool is not in use to maintain the sharpness of the triple-ground teeth.
- Cleaning: After cutting resinous woods, clean the teeth with a light solvent or specialized blade cleaner to prevent gumming.
- Handling: When working in cold environments, the soft-grip handle maintains its texture, allowing for high control without needing to increase your grip pressure.
