Running into figure saying something cutting (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
tenon saw
'something cutting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'running into figure saying' is the wordplay.
'running' becomes 'on' (eg when a machine is running it is on).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'figure' becomes 'ten' (I've seen this before).
'saying' becomes 'saw' (saw is a kind of saying).
'ten'+'saw'='tensaw'
'on' going into 'tensaw' is 'TENON-SAW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenon saw that I've seen before include "One cuts" , "Woodcutter" , "used in joint production" , "Tool - one wasn't (anag)" , "Precision cutter for making wooden joints" .)
