That's pretty nifty. Another approach that might work is to use a shaft and some ball bearings with a gear or belt drive to a motor mounted under the table, pretty much like a fullsized table saw. An advantage of that is the motor would not have to be a particularly high speed type, although I'm not sure how well the belt or gears would hold up and it would take more fabrication.
I've had such good luck with the drill I built that I might try something like this at some point, the hacksaw works but is not ideal.
