yeah--why not

Limekin is hidden in the clue (backwards).

Don't know about chainsaw.

carmalee

if you would like to maximise those willing to help you stephenj I'd suggest supplying the clue and any letters you may already have in situ - not everyone has clues to every crossword on the go!

Thanks for advice, carmalee. Forgive a neophyte.

27a -h-a-s-w (Staying cryptically rendered for this cutter)
17,19a b-t, t-e (That piece on which control's tight -that's boring!)

carmalee

27a - certainly looks like chainsaw - can only come up with a very tenuous connection which is 'staying'= was in (backwards (crtptically) in the clue) for a cutter is obviously chain saw - am sure the boffs will solve it to your satisfaction later on today.
For the other one Bit Tie fits and a bittie is necktie (?control) for nerds (?boring) - very tenuous again but all I can come up with - sorry

debarri

17,19a b-t, t-e (That piece on which control's tight -that's boring!)

Should that be t-e, b-t?

Yes it should. t-e b-t

I think it's "THE BIT"

good one telescoper

The wordplay for CHAINSAW is T in SAYING, i.e. CHA in SAW
