I was flipping through a popular science mag and there was an ad for a saw with counter rotating blades and it's supposed to cut metal as well as wood. Any one out there ever used one? I have a few jobs that it would be handy on.

They showed one of those on the DIYnetwork on "Tools & Techniques" and
showed it cutting a wide range of things. IIRC, the blades were only
about 5 inches in diameter, but I could be wrong.

Close. 6 1/8" blade. Replacement blades are $50, though. Ouch. All based
on the OP talking about this saw:
