AC RPM and the amount of Reactance

In summary, AC RPM is a unit of measurement for rotational speed in an AC electrical system, while reactance is a measure of opposition to the flow of alternating current in a circuit. These two are related as the speed of an AC motor is influenced by the amount of reactance in the circuit it is connected to. The amount of reactance in a circuit can be influenced by factors such as frequency, circuit components, and physical properties. Reactance is different from resistance in that it varies with frequency and stores energy instead of dissipating it. It can also affect the efficiency of an AC motor, with higher reactance decreasing efficiency and lower reactance potentially improving it.

TL;DR Summary
For Rate of cutting in ac that means a higher frequency which also means a lower reactance theoretically. If so, why is higher rpm ideal?

No, you can't say that reluctance changes frequency.

Back up. Explain the context of your question please.

Ohh I was thinking about capacitors since Xc=1/(2*pi*f*c) where xc is inversely proportional to Frequency but in inductors they are directly proportional..

We still need context. Are you asking about the RPM of an induction motor? or the cutting speed of an arc welder? Or what does "rate of cutting in AC" mean?
