Speed is measured in rotations per minute (RPM) and will either be a fixed speed or a variable speed. The much better choice is variable speed as it gives you much better control. It also allows you to use the right speed depending on what material you are cutting, such as soft woods, hard woods and metal. You also want a longer stroke length and anything over 200 mm is a great choice. This allows users to choose batteries between the 1.5 Ah and 5.0 Ah depending on the runtime requirements they have. The variable speed control dial is located at the rear of the machine and allows you to change the blade speed to suit the task at hand, whilst the rigid aluminium base can bevel from 0 to 45° in left and right positions.
