A buzz saw was a circular saw tool used to cut objects. Buzz saws consist of a circular blade with sharp grooves on the edge of the shape. They rotate at high speeds in order to cut through a variety of objects.[1] Many different types of droids were produced with buzz saws, such as astromech droids[2] and toy droids.[3]
In 230 BBY,[4] a member of the pirate organization known as the Nihil used a large modified buzz saw to attack Jedi Masters Yoda and Kantam Sy during the Battle of the Corellian Shipyards.[5]
In 9 BBY, L0-LA59 used her buzz saw to cut through the ropes Leia Organa was tied with when she was kidnapped,[3] just as R2-D2 used his when he and his friends were captured by ewoks during their mission to Endor in 4 ABY.[2]
