Tony,

I looked at this saw at Hida Tool's website, and there they spell out that it is indeed 'hard wood set', not just hard point. They have it for $90, which is what you'd pay at this site, allowing for conversion rate (78 Yen to the USD plus currency conversion at 3%). Replacement blades $71.

I'd like to hear from someone who has one: Does anyone own one of these?
