The other side of the coin is what has not gone up in price and likely to continue even more rapidly? Not as if they deteriorate, if you use these and like them, it is better than money in the bank.

I really can't say enough good things about Freud saw blades and router bits.

Obviously, you are not a daily user of this type, but even on sale, you are already up 70% in 3 years.... better than the bank.

For breaking down plywood as a one man operation, wouldn't a sliding table saw with the extra under kerf blade to prevent tear out be awesome? They are all over Europe, but not as popular in the states.
For circular saws, many prefer the larger of the two blades (7-1/4) that can have more teeth by circumference and with the same rpm, has more contact with the wood per rotation. As well, if using everyday and need one, you can walk in about anyplace and find the more common 7-1/4, 10 and 12 inch blades in several types. The 6-1/2 and the 8-1/4 that used to be common sizes, are not so much today. I picked up a box of a 100, 6-1/2 non-carbide plywood blades for 50 cents each on a closeout that I occasionally do use on a 7-1/4 saw, but give more away than I use.

If I had a 7 1/4" saw that tracked straight and didn't bind up on long cuts, that's probably what I'd use. A box of 100 blades would last for generations, though.

I think I have used every circular saw made and although they all work, still prefer a corded Makita. As long as I remember the maintenance, including new brushes, they last a long time. A 12 to 15 amp corded 7-1/4 saw with decent bearings has as much or more power than a lot of miter and table saws. None of the battery powered track very well and mostly user error from trying to push too fast with not enough power.... got to wait on the saw.
