Hacksaw
A hacksaw is a fine-tooth saw with a blade under tension in a frame.

Used for cutting materials such as metal or plastics. Hand-held

hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a handle, usually a pistol grip,
with pins for attaching a narrow disposable blade. A screw or other
mechanism is used to put the thin blade under tension. The blade can
be mounted with the teeth facing toward or away from the handle,
resulting in cutting action on either the push or pull stroke. On the push
stroke, the arch will flex slightly, decreasing the tension on the blade.

Power Hacksaw
A power hacksaw (or electric hacksaw) is a type of hacksaw that is
powered either by its own electric motor or connected to a stationary
engine. Most power hacksaws are stationary machines but some
portable models do exist. Stationary models usually have a mechanism
to lift up the saw blade on the return stroke and some have a coolant
pump to prevent the saw blade from overheating.

Bandsaw
A bandsaw is a power tool which uses a blade consisting of a continuous
band of metal with teeth along one edge to cut various workpieces. The
band usually rides on two wheels rotating in the same plane, although
some small bandsaws have three wheels. The saw may be powered by
wind, water, steam, gas engine, electrical motor or animal power.
Bandsawing produces uniform cutting action as a result of an evenly
distributed tooth load.[1] Bandsaws are used
for woodworking, metalworking, or for cutting a variety of other
materials, and are particularly useful for cutting irregular or curved
shapes, but can also be used to produce straight cuts. The radius of a
curve that can be cut on a particular saw is determined by the width of
the band and its lateral flexibility.

Vertyical Bandsawing
A band saw whose blade operates in the vertical plane; ideal for
contour cutting.
