Taurus 3 Thumb Screw

DESCRIPTION

Purpose & Function
A specially designed thumb screw used to fasten key components on the Taurus 3 Ring Saw, most notably:

• Secures the bottom door/clip of the removable saw head for handheld mode.

• Allows easy on/off installation without tools, featuring a knurled head for manual grip.

Key Features

• Material: Likely stainless steel or plated steel—resistant to rust and designed for wet-use conditions.

• Design: Large, knurled head that enables secure tightening by hand; short shaft designed to engage a threaded nut on the door or clip assembly.

• Role: Keeps the door securely in place during operation—critical for maintaining blade cooling and preventing leaks in handheld mode.

Why It Matters

• Safety & Stability: Prevents unintended opening of the bottom door during handheld use—reducing risk of water spillage and maintaining blade coolant levels.

• Tool-less Operation: Thumb head allows quick and easy adjustments or disassembly without needing a screwdriver or wrench.

Use & Maintenance Tips

• Check for tightness before each use, especially when switching between table and handheld mode.

• Replace if threads wear or the knurled head becomes stripped or rounded—use a quality replacement from Gemini or an equivalent stainless thumb screw.
