I have never seen one since most of the metal cutting dry cut saws is around 1300 to 1400 RPM. That's what their design is for , slow speed blades so you need to buy their saw and not a blade to adapt to a chop saw.
You can get metal cutting for a circular saw which aren't too costly.

Once you start looking at a 14" blade they tend to be mostly designed for dry cut saws. Im pretty sure if there was one available that fitted a 14" saw and ran at high RPM then there would be a lot of discussion about it here.
If you want to drop the blade size down, to say 10" you could possibly fit a Rage Evolution blade if the planets are in alignment and the arbor sizes line up and the material you want to cut can be dealt with by a 10" blade.

10" steel blade listed for 5200rpm, made by Evolution, although not an actual Rage blade it is from the same company. Regardless it says its good for 5200 RPM.
Confusion probably comes from me thinking Rage made Evolution, not the other way round..

The 14" rage blades are rated at 1600-ish speed.....Smaller blades are rated faster.... I forgot the science behind it....

Milwakee might have their own version of a blade for their dry cut saws.
For my interest and google.
Even their dry cut saws "Milwaukee" saws are running at 1800 rpm....

I got one of these and gave away my ol' spark saw. I love it, cuts awesome.

The science is the FPM at the outer diameter of the blade if I am not mistaken.
Looks like Amazon spec might not correct for all the blades mentioned and the speed has been questioned often........
Quote below is from the question section:
The description says 5200 rpm, but you can clearly see in the picture of the blade that it says max rpm 3000. So what is the actual max rpm?
Answer: The blade picture is for 9" (3000rpm), Description and part number for 10"(5200rpm). Best to look at Evolution Blades website: http://www.evolutionpowertools.com/us/steel/blades.php and pick out blade diameter and use you want by part number and order from best price supplier. They are excellent blades but do wear … see more

Joe - Don't know actual revolutions. The blade cuts like a demon. Makes a machine smooth cut. Saw is heavy and hard to handle on anything other that a soild workbench. You get off in the slightest and you will loose saw teeth, opps there goes 40 bucks.

I really don't know but I do know it is to run at a much slower speed than the standard miter saw. I bought the saw to go with the blade if that makes sense. Either way I could not get much life out of the blade when I cut 3" pipe which is the reason I bought the saw.

I would believe the markings in the blade to be correct. These blades are supposed to turn at a slower RPM than typical abrasive blades.

A little expensive but don;t have to clean up abrasive debris.

Lets say pi is equal to 3. A 5 inch blade turning at 1 rpm with a carbide tooth silver soldered on the outside edge will have a tooth speed of 15 inches per min. A 10 inch blade will have a tooth speed of 30 inches per min. At some point the tooth can't hang on.
The science to determine the speed of the rating of the saw and the material to be cut I mean. ?something to do with angle of the carbide, type of carbide, number of tooth, hardness of the materials to be cut.. those science... FPM is pretty standard. I remember reading some where about those parameters... Don't remember the science..... they used to share these knowledge in the early days.....now it's just buried in the Internet.

14" Metal Chop Saw Blade
If you plan to upgrade my suggestion would be to look at femi bandsaw in lieu of dry cut saw. The dry cut saws cost for consumables is extremely high. Blades are expensive and they just don't last very long.
I have a few dry cut saws and I've spend more on blades than the saws themselves.
I'm planning to migrate to a bandsaw like the femi. Dry cut Would be fine for infrequent use, they are nicer to operate than the chop saw, but the cost of acquisition is mitigated by the cost of consumables IMHO.
One mans opinion, take it for what it's worth.
