I've seen comments comparing saws based on their max RPMs, and I've also seen objections to rev-limiting ignition systems. I don't get it.
Other that as a tuning tool, I don't understand why it matters if one saw can do 11,000 RPM, where another can so 13,000 RPM. From the few checks I've done of test reports, saws all seem to hit max power around 9,000 to 10,000 RPM, and max torque around 6,000 to 7,000 RPM, so these are the ranges where you would get the most out of your saw when cutting. So why does it matter how fast a saw can run out of the cut?
