Arrow saw. 5,000RPM vs. 8,000 RPM.

I know it's been debated forever, but is there truly a downfall between one or the other for the average home user? Reason I ask is I found an Apple Saw (model AA0425 ) for sale for $35. It needs a cut-off wheel, which is like another $11. The saw is in good shape, but it's only a 5,000RPM saw. It does retail for around $125, though, so I may scoop this up. Thoughts?

 

Grab it and don't look back!

 

You won't find a better deal than that.

 

Grab it!

 

Ya, what they said.

If you don't want it, I know Ben will!

 

Thanks, guys. Working on it.

 

Just give me the guys phone number, I dare ya.

 

Well, he's magically become unreachable all of a sudden.

 

Figures

 

No go. He doesn't want to ship it, and he's just a bit too far to justify driving and picking up.

 

I got the Apple 5000rpm on ebay. Don't know how the 8000rpm could be any better.

 

I picked up the Cabela's 5,000 a few years ago when I first put together my home shop... it's handled everything I've ever asked it to with ease.
