The 3D-printed trinket has a motor that actually runs. It can't cut wood, though.

Just a few months after 3D printing what could be the world's smallest cordless drill, New Zealand-based engineer Lance Abernethy has created a similarly miniscule circular saw.

3Ders.org reported the tiny tool first, saying it is probably best classified under "fun and inspiring 3D printed trinkets." The circular saw, powered by a small hearing aid battery, does run but stops short of actually being able to cut wood. Gizmodo said the blade used is not sharp and could only cut through tissue paper or warm butter, and only if the user is determined to do so.

The circular saw was 3D-printed on an Ultimaker 2 using PLA and consists of two sides of the main housing, the blade guard and blade holder. The shell is just 0.5mm thick.
