A saw is a tool for cutting material into smaller pieces, usually by means of some abrasive mechanism, either angled teeth or an abrasive harder than the material to cut. As opposed to a drill, it generally cuts on a plane rather than making a hole, although there are some hybrid devices called hole saws.
