Keep in mind, the small ceramic saws (mines a Makita 4 3/8) runs at 11,000
RPM.
Wood saws run around 4000-5000 RPM. Choose blades carefully.

Are you referring to a 10" wood saw? The wood cares about how fast the
teeth are moving in feet per second (i.e., the tip speed), not how fast
the blade is spinning in RPM. And the tip speed on a 4.5" blade at
11,000 RPM is nearly the same as that of a 10" blade moving at 5000 RPM....
