I've never dealt with CP, but I have to assume that if you have the ability to custom make a blade, boring a hole in the center of any diameter isn't going to be a problem. I could be wrong though.
I would suspect that the reason you don't find plunge saws that accept standard 7-1/4" blades, is "market share". You can buy 10 packs of Freud Diablo's on amazon for less than a 1/3rd the cost of a Festool blade, I have the TS75 also, and throw them away when they get dull.. No way in my lifetime I'll ever burn through 30 circular saw blades. They make good $$$$ on the OEM replacement blades.
