Yes, Kreg states this. In this case, as is the case with most cutting
of soft material. speed is not at all critical. I believe that they
recommend a higher speed as most people have difficulty controlling
their feedrate. For the same feedrate, higher speed reduces chip load
resulting in a smoother cut. You can do the same at a slower speed by
reducing feed rate (as you have apparently realized).


Having used both a 1/2" battery driven DeWalt, and a 3/8" corded DeWalt to
cut pocket holes, unless there is no place to plug in, the battery driven
tool gets to drive the screws. There is no contest. Drilling the holes
eats battery time AND clock time, and offers no noticeable benefits.
