mine's variable but I don't vary it very much and right now I think
it's set to ~2000 rpm

What's yours set to? And do you vary it often?

620, as slow as it can go. Works fine for small bits in wood
(it's still a lot faster than I can crank a hand drill), and
I don't have to remember to slow it down for a big forstner.
I don't remember the last time I changed it.

I rarely use any of my drill presses for wood,

I use mine whenever I can. I like my holes to be at right
angles to the surface of the wood :-)
