According to this, 1300rpm.

I've got a chop saw sitting under a plastic bag in the back yard. A DeWalt. Was designed for a carbide metal cutting blade but came to me with a 14" cutoff wheel. The correct blade costs more than I paid for the saw, but would probably shatter the glass in a DRO scale. IIRC you can get diamond blades that will cut metal, but I think they're even more expensive. If you show up on my doorstep I'll give it to you.?

It works as is for cutting metal but it's too loud and sprays hot sparks everywhere. I used it once. Hosed down the grass behind it, and put the bag over it. I think even the grit disk is too percussive for a glass scale.?

Must be nice to have $$ to buy stuff like he has in his shop. All pretty and new. :)

Great. Thanks. I was envisioning a diamond wheel on a dremel.

It's been 3 years, but I believe I scored it with a diamond file and snapped it on a sharp edge. Could have used a glass cutter. Might have used a Dremel with a diamond cut-off wheel sold at Harbor Freight.

I have the Clausing version. Buy scales that are longer than the travel
distance for each direction. The scales can be shortened (even glass
scales). I bought a Chicom kit sold on Ebay by 200 different sellers.
The scales were glass. It took some time to disassemble the scales and
cut them, but it was not that hard to do. I did not use the included
mounting hardware preferring to make my own for a better fit. It has
been 3 years since the install and it works great. If you buy one, I can
send you a manual that I found online, which is much better than the one
written by the slave laborer for my kit.
