holesaw, the whipsaw, the sabre saw, the hacksaw, scroll saw, rip saw, crosscut saw, and maybe even the see saw?

These are, of course, all specialist saws, geoff.
Holesaw - also known in UK as Keyhole saw - was developed by and for voyeurs.

whipsaw was originally the w-hip saw, itself a contraction for wide-hip saw, used by cosmetic surgeons

sabre saw I'm not so sure about - I think it is a tree-surgeons implement and the name is derived from s'arbre saw.

The hacksaw is used for cutting the legs from under unwanted visitors to your computer.

scrollsaw has become corrupted from swroll saw (far to difficult to pronounce, especially after several quarts of wood-cutters ale) It was, of course, originally used for cutting slices from deep-frozen swiss roll.

RIP saw is used in coffin making, as I hardly need to tell you.

crosscut saw is the remark you make in anger to someone who has said something that makes you sore.

See saw? Now, you're just being ridiculous!
