Am looking at the Ridgid miter saws - 10" or 12". The 12" saw comes
with a stand, on top of the greater cutting capacity.

However, the blade speed is much lower - 3600 RPMs - than the Ridgid
10" - 5500 RPMs. Will this affect performance significantly? Or, does
the larger blade somehow counter the slower revolutions?

Thanks!

Tip speed comparison is 12/10 * 36/55 ~= 0.8 so the 12" has 20% slower
tip speed than the 10". Doubt you could tell it.
