What is a "saw"?
A saw is a tool used for cutting through materials like wood, metal, or plastic. It has a long, flat blade with a series of sharp teeth along one edge. When the saw is moved back and forth, the teeth cut into the material, allowing it to be sliced into smaller pieces. There are different types of saws, including hand saws, which are operated manually, and power saws, which have a motor to drive the blade, making cutting faster and easier.
