chainsaw
Toothed tree cutter
A chainsaw is a portable power saw with teeth set on a continuous chain that loops around a guide bar.
Chainsaws cut through wood quickly—used for felling trees, trimming limbs, and cutting firewood.
The verb means to cut with one: We chainsawed the fallen oak into manageable pieces.
Figuratively, to chainsaw something is to cut it drastically or brutally.
