There are several acronyms that are commonly used to describe tools, such as SCMS (sliding compound miter saw), RAS (radial arm saw), and ROS (random orbit sander).
Do we want to allow these as tag synonyms for the full names, and if so, were do we stop?
For example, other acronyms such as BS (band saw), TS (usually table saw), and DC (dust collector) are also commonly used on woodworking forums, but it's possible those abbreviations could be ambiguous.
