Don't use many angle grinders do you? Regardless of the 10,000 RPM, it
still does not approach the speed of a simple circular saw or a sawzall.


My simple circular saw RPM is less than half that. Peripheral speed
unknown though


Multiply by the blade circumference... so for a 190mm blade at 4500 rpm
that is 4500 x 0.19 x pi = 2686 m/sec


I knew I could count on you :-)
