FAQs About Saw Blade RPMs
Why is it important to follow the recommended RPM?
Following the recommended saw blade RPM ensures the blade operates at optimal cutting speed, minimizes wear, and reduces the risk of damage to the blade or equipment.
What happens if I exceed the maximum RPM for a diamond blade?
Exceeding the maximum RPM can cause the blade to overheat, warp, or even break, potentially leading to unsafe working conditions.
What does SFPM mean in the chart footnote?
SFPM stands for Surface Feet Per Minute. It measures the speed at which the blade’s edge moves through the material being cut. The chart is based on a standard of 9,500 SFPM for optimal performance.
How do I determine the correct RPM for my saw and blade?
Match the blade diameter with the corresponding RPM values in the chart. Use the recommended RPM as a guide for safe and efficient cutting.
Can I use a blade at a lower RPM than recommended?
Using a blade at a significantly lower RPM than recommended can reduce cutting efficiency and may result in uneven cuts or slower performance.

wish i could explain the photos better, they deserve captions. i bought 2 replacements for the blade on the dewalt, as i believed it was at the end of its life. the chisel was freshly sharpened for marking the 1/2 inch steel for the cut, i took a picture as circled because that is what happened when i hit the chisel, it barely dented the now i know is hardened steel. made 2 cuts with the used blade then after cut an oxygen tank open for recycling, took the top and bottom off using the same blade i thought was done... the blade is about a year old and has already seen quite a bit of use. if you work with metal, and dont have one of these, get one, give it a shot, you will be impressed. this is my second review. i personally believe if you dont have the power to run a plasma cutter or dont have a cutting torch, it does exactly the same thing. i havent found something it is unable to cut.
Needed to slot a heavy wall 1.25 DOM tube with .281 wall thickness quickly & consistently & at a 1/4" opening. Tried a milling process but took way to much time. Tried a tube laser but annealing occurred with lots of heat added to the part & a jagged slot face. So we found this diamond blade and gave it a try. On a Rigid table saw no less. Cut cleanly, cut quickly and didn't burn the part. Some sparks but cutting over a concrete pad & sparks didn't get to the floor. If we get the customer PO we will stack a pair on the arbor so only 1 full cut & 1 clean up cut per part vs 4 & wobbly side walls. Thanks DeltaDiamond, u helped us SHINE for the customer.
so long review, i have been using the 7" 5/8 arbor diamond extreme for years now, made a review on amazon, short version buy this. i was using dewalt composite cutting wheels until i found this, super difference, more straight cuts, less binding and throwing the tool into your wrist, thinner cut. i am super satisfied most things just work, this works phenomenally well. if you cut metal, and dont have one, get one. you will be pleased. functionality, the trailer is 1/4" angle iron by 2", i cut the welds as i will repurpose the angle iron. yes it cut through 1/4 inch welds. even more impressive, my weld cart i built has a stainless steel top, which i cut from a piece of 1/2 inch thick stainless plate which was scrap from work. after that use, it still cut for about 3 months. they cut aluminum but hog up doing it, they cut stainless, they cut any kind of steel. super pleased and if i can update the review at a later date i will remember to put more photos.
Blade came quick and worked great! I put it to work cutting through24" wide 4" thick rubber tracks with internal steel cables from a quad tractor. Happy customer!! Thanks!
Works great we are using it in a circular saw to cut IMP (insulated metal panels)that are 4” thick one pass with the saw and diamond blade cuts through without having to flip the panel and do a second pass.
I am a carpenter by trade. Used several metal blades to cut .125 2.5 inch metal tubing for a deck. Once I ordered my diamond blade I had no need to order any other blades. I have made 60 to 70 cuts and the first cut is the same as the 70th. I would and have recommended these blades to all my tradesman and friends.
This product works well and we will likely use it for certain projects. The project that we purchased it for was not the best fit, but we see it being useful in future situations.
Selecting the proper blade was simple and straightforward. The order process was easy, tracking was clear and the blade was delivered quickly. Overall a very positive process.
Ordered a 16" diamond cutting blade. Order showed as delivered and the blade was never received. Tried to contact customer service and have not seen an email back aside from the email asking me to review it. How can I review a product I never got. Id like my money back. I spent nearly $200 for the blade and never got it.
Fantastic customer support. Thanks for helping me select the correct blade and getting it to me sooner than expected. I will certainly be buying all of my future blades here.
Building a metal building and wanted a blade for my metal worm drive Skilsaw that wouldn't throw alot of sparks. Haven't used yet, but they look to be built great.
Stop buying the traditional cut off wheels. This blade has been on my 4 1/2" cutting grinder for 2 years. It will save you time changing wheels and money in the long run. I just ordered my second blade for my new cordless grinder. Great product.
Store owner replied:
That's what we're saying (they are much safer to use too)! 2 years is excellent life for the Diamond Extreme blade. Thanks for the great review!
Blade cuts fast and very accurate. Almost NO sparks. Highly recommend this blade to anyone using abrasive cut-off wheels.
