Why does a hacksaw have such fine teeth 
Why is the main purpose of a thicknesser to make wood thiner
And why will a circular saw only cut in a straight line

A hacksaw has fine teeth because the word is derived from the Triassic period when Dinosaurs ruled the earth.
The ferrocious Hackersaurous had three sets of particularly fine teeth. |

a thicknesser is used for reduceing timber thickness in stages untill you have the size you want.
circular saws only cut straght lines because of the blade size only allows it to. |

I was just having a bit of fun with tool descriptions that could be misleading IF you wanted them to be
