I just picked up a chunk of steel this morning to make Aloris-style toolholders (Martin Eastburn posted a picture to the Dropbox a few years back). I've been thinking about getting this saw and now I'll do it this weekend (sidewalk sale at the store in my neighborhood). I looked at the specs for it a while back and it does take the same blade length as the Milwaukee saw.
Maybe the first project will be to build a cutting stand for the saw; I have an extra milling vise that ought to work nicely. MicroMark's saw came with the stand but is $80 more than HF.
Thanks, Pete
