A tenon saw is a type of hand saw designed for making precise cuts in wood. It features a thin, straight blade with fine teeth, making it ideal for cutting joints, such as those found in furniture making. The saw typically has a rigid back, which helps maintain a straight cutting line. Tenon saws are commonly used in woodworking and carpentry, especially for tasks that require accuracy, like creating tenons for mortise and tenon joints. They are often used alongside other tools, such as chisels, to achieve clean and accurate results in various woodworking projects.
