My (follow-up) question is: if I set my router at lowest
speed (which I believe is 8000rpm; it's a Bosch 1617EVSPK)
*AND* the drill bit has a 1/4 shank that fits perfectly in
the router head, is it ok in that case? Or is 8000 rpm
still too much for the drill bit?

I would suspect that there will be too much flex in the bit and it
will begin to whip then break apart at that speed. I seriously doubt
that any normal drill bit should be trusted beyond 3-4000 RPM.
