On precision cutting devices, such as dicing saws, a blade
is fixed to a spindle and rotated at very high speeds. It is
common to use spindle speeds between 10,000 to 50,000
revolutions per minute.
The blade peripheral velocity, or “surface speed”, is one of
the key elements that significantly influence the cutting result.
Blade peripheral velocity is dependent on the diameter of the
blade and the spindle revolution speed as shown in Figure 2
below.
