Combo Table Saw/Miter Saw?

Normally I expect strange tool mashups to come from small-time inventors or those As Seen on TV guys, but here's an odd one from a reputable, mainstream manufacturer: a combo miter saw-table saw from Makita.

Posted on the Makita Japan website, it looks pretty official. Some folks over on the Taunton Breaktime forum (where I first saw it) even claimed to have used one. They say it's good for small stock like floor boards or trim.

My fellow contributor Eric actually had another reason to speak with a Makita rep, but that guy'd never heard of it. I've heard some speculation that in some countries it's common to see alot of rebranding, which means Makita might not have a whole lot to do with the actual design.

In any case, I think I'll keep mine separate.
