Agreed, the rpm doesn't tell us much without the saw diameter.
There can be vast differences in the SAE 954/AISI 660 cast bronze material too. If it cut good with the previous tool and cutting parameters, that material issue is the likely culprit.
Can you describe the saw you were using?
Me? I know that stuff can be ungodly expensive, but not having any reason to believe I'd ever have a use for small little pieces, I just plow though it with a lead angle carbide insert face mill and it's butter.
