buzzsaw
Loud circular cutter
A buzzsaw is a power saw with a circular toothed blade that spins at high speed, used for cutting wood or other materials.
The name comes from the distinctive high-pitched whine it produces.
Figuratively, to walk into a buzzsaw is to encounter unexpectedly fierce opposition or devastating force: The rookie quarterback walked into a buzzsaw against that defense.
