We had a brief discussion of them over on the OWWM. You can
search the archives there for that. Hitachi and Makita made
them. I did see one come across eBay a short time ago. It
didn't fetch what I would have expected (1).

(1) They aren't cheap. From memory I'm thinking a grand or
two ('Murikan).


Can you provide a link? How was the quality of cut? I'm guessing
that, as with all cutting tools, the honing of the blade would be
vital...
