Remember in March we reported that a man in New Zealand 3D printed a tiny drill? Sure, you can 3D print anything you want as long as you have the schematics for it, but what made it even more impressive is that this is a drill that actually works. Granted you won’t be making furniture or building houses with it, but it is still pretty awesome, not mention incredibly cute as well.
Now it looks like the man, Lance Abernethy, is back and this time round, he has 3D printed what we can only assume is the world’s smallest working circular saw. The parts of the saw were designed and printed by Abernethy himself using an Ultimaker 2 3D printer. It uses a hearing aid battery to power itself and will spring into action at a press of a button.
However given its tiny form factor, it won’t actually do anything but once again its size and cuteness is something to behold. That being said, the idea of creating a tiny saw that can actually cut through small pieces wood is something he is interested in, but for now it seems that Abernethy is content in printing out an entire set of power tools.
Speaking to 3DPrint, Abernethy said, “The saw was just a natural progression from the drill. I would like to be able to make a whole set of power tools just like my Makita set I have. I’m not sure how many I will get around to making though.” He even printed little brief cases for the power tools to go into. If you’d like to see more, check it out in the video above.
