Flush cutting blade for Trion? Dewalt DW3311?

I have not seen a flush-cutting blade made by Festool or Bosch. DeWalt has the 3311, but cautions that it only fits two of their saws.

It looks like a T type Bosch or Festool end, so I am wondering if it might work. 

You know, things like clearing stuff and reaching far enough forward.

Perhaps with some modifications?

Anyone tried one?

I know you can use Festool blades in a dewalt so I can't see any reason you wouldn't be able use a Dewalt blade in a Festool Trion or Bosch.

But I would also be careful when I use this, because it looks like the extra leverage from the forward location of the blade could cause damage to the the saws piston in some way, possibly ???

I actually locked at that blade in response to another thread here recently.  If it will work or not will ALSO depend on the blades position relative to the end of the base / shoe.  Never tried one.

Guys, don't worry too much about the forces involved. If you make the cut slowly, everything will be just fine. It's not like you're gonna make this your standard blade, it's only for those cuts you absolutely have to make this way.

Given the price of the blade, it is a sure thing that it will be used only when necessary.
