Saw Blade Rim Speed Calculator
The free Saw Blade Rim Speed Calculator answers one question: Tip speed of a saw blade or sanding disc. Enter your numbers in inches or millimeters and the result updates instantly in your browser, with no sign-up and no app to install. Use it on your phone at the bench, then copy or print the result for your cut list.
Rim speed explains why a 12″ blade cuts differently from an 8″ one at the same RPM.
