*snip: Picture of a drill with egg beater chucked in it*

Until we got a decent stand mixer, I kept threatening to buy a drill press
for use in the kitchen. They ought to be able to withstand several minutes
of running, but now that I think about it, even at 2300 RPM it might be a
little slow for mixing.

She ought to. You shouldn't over-beat. Fold gently.

Google "Walt Akers". He wrote a great story of a Thanks Giving Dinner.
His only task was to whip the whipping cream for the pumpkin pie.

He quickly decided that a hand mixer would take forever and and
the electric mixer was grossly underpowered. Speculating that the
the shaft of a beater would fit in the collar of one of his routers he
tested the fit. Fit perfectly.

Alas, he forgot that his router's lowest speed was around 20K rpms
and was probably set around 26K rpms when he squeezed the ON/OFF
trigger.

I remember Walt's stories in rec.woodworking way back in the last
century. They were a hoot. The proverbial grain of salt usually came
to mind, but as Rudy Osolnuk used to say, "Never let the facts get in
the way of a good story."

Walt DID write some great stories but the whippped creams story was
David Elsan's. Here's a link:
