    Will,

    Hey Dan,

    I think Vijay is right, I'd be surprised (but delighted) to see it his year. As to your earlier post regarding choosing between the Rotex 150 and ETS 150/5, I agree with you 100%.

    I also went with the 20 Aggazani from Eagle Tools and will echo what others have said about the saw and service. And those new guides look interesting. How much were they?

    Although I have not done the math (e.g. account for the larger diameter blade of the 75), I believe the 55 with more teeth and higher rpm will do better on plywood.

    Matt,

    Aaron,

    I would recommend the TS 55 over the TS 75 for what you are doing. It's lighter, smaller, and has a finer tooth standard blade (48 t) designed for hardwood/veneers, etc.
    This has been a...

    Tim,

    It's actually the older brother to the TS 55. IIRC, 2003-2004 was the last year the ATF was manufactured.
