* Based on 9,500 SFPM (Surface Feet per Minute) - the general optimum performance range for cutting concrete and masonry products is + 10%. For hard, dense materials such as stone and tile, the optimum performance speed is 10% - 25% less than the speeds shown above.
** Based upon ANSI B7.1 & B7.5 guidelines for maximum safe/never exceed speeds.
