Standard corded circular saw, 7.25" . Milwaukee, Bosch, Porter-Cable,Makita etc...
So is it ok to cut Tile, concrete or brick with it, with appropriate blade ofcourse?
Dry cutting or wet cutting.

Makita has a masonry and tile cutting circular saw of 4 3/8" , with a No Load speed of 12,000 or 13,000 rpm.
Their 7 1/4" circular saw for wood is 5800 rpm. Is the Rpm on the Makita Tile saw just a function of it being a small diameter (4 3/8") saw blade and not necessarily because you need high Rpm for masonry and tile?
So for concrete, masonry and tile, one needs high rpm? But angle grinders which are used for cutting these materials are low rpm, about 3500 rpm for a 14" blade on an angle grinder cut-off saw.
