Assuming the typical saw used to saw boards in home construction and renovation is a circular saw, the diameter of the blade can be estimated as 7-10 inches (17.8-25.4 cm). The linear speed in m/s of a point on the rim of the circular saw blade is then approximately: (π × 25.4 cm) × (2600 rev/min) / (60 s/min) = 28.0 m/s.
