Is there a weak point in the system that makes this prudent? I don't think so.

My two machines read 5942 and 5275 at the high end and 758 and 749 respectively at the low end for whatever that is worth.
Take a look at the maximum speed printed on your saw blades.

Good thinking BUT I don't believe that is the answer. Upper right hand corner.
