I have no experience, but my first thought was to wonder how well a
side-cutting bit would work in tough wood at the RPM provided by a
standard drill.

Same here -- which caused me to wonder if you can use a router instead of a drill...

Again, my experience is limited, but I wouldn't feel safe trying to to
aim a spinning bit at router speed into a small metal hole.

The demo video pretty clearly shows the drill is not started until after the bit is inserted into
the guide; I figured on doing the same with a router.
