Just a small bump because I was watching some youtube videos of similar saws and remembered how much I want one. I still hope to find one some day...

Wow, that Tōka saw is gorgeous, in a "put it in the middle of the shop, where any visitors see it first" kinda way. The sliding table setup is particularly impressive.

That's a Tōkai saw. In the video, the 'i' on the casting was blocked by the carrier beam for the sliding table.
I agree it is a nice saw indeed. I think one of those class of saws in Japan - there are 3 or 4 companies making a similar product - comes with up to 400mm blade capacity, which is what I'd be looking for, if I was looking, which I'm not, not right now at least...
