Circular saw RPM for cutting butcher block countertops
I'm in the market for a couple new tools for my DIY butcher block countertop install and I was looking for some advise. I have a brand new 7 1/4 Diablo 60T ultra fine finish blade and now I need a saw. I have read 5-6000rpm for hardwoods but then I saw conflicting info that said lower RPM's are better to prevent burning. Is this only for larger blades? I have some 18v metabo tools and I was initially thinking about an cordless offering from them but I was concerned about the lower torque and rpm of a portable 18v saw for 1.5" hardwood. It would be nice for other projects in the future but I'm really buying the saw primarily for this project. Would I be better off with one if the corded 6000rpm or 6800rpm circular saws? One other question will a smaller trim router be okay for routing channels for my zipbolts to make my connections or should I get a bigger one? Thanks for your help! submitted by /u/elemental19743 [link] [comments]
