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

It's like the lathe and speed depends on the wood but so far I've not
had any problems. I got a fair bit of steam when drilling wet wood
but I don't think lower rpm would make a difference



I typically keep my DP set at 750 and lower. Most of my holes are
drilled 1-3/8" for Euro hinges.


Ditto here.
