"Run into a buzz saw" = đụng phải cái lưỡi cưa -> nghĩa là rơi vào tình huống nguy hiểm, gay go và bất thình lình.

Ví dụ
The bill (dự luật) ran into a buzz saw of opposition from labor groups after it was introduced, and it finally died in committee.

Founded in the late 19th century by Samuele Sebastiani, the winery was one of many launched by Italian immigrants. It was passed down to several generations but ran into a buzz saw when a highly publicized family dispute (bất đồng) broke the harmony in the mid-1980s.

Biden has also said that the eligibility age for Medicare (chương trình của chính phủ Mỹ về chăm sóc người già trên 65 tuổi) should be lowered five years to age 60. This would run into a buzz saw of resistance not just from Republicans, but also the hospital industry. Why? Because hospitals make a lot less money from Medicare patients than from patients who are covered by their work health plans. The industry fears a lower Medicare age could mean billions in lost revenue.
