It is set at 3050 RPM right now and I've done many circuit boards with it. The shaft rotates true and doesn't break any tiny carbide bits. Same here. But you gotta HOPE for a better-than-usual chuck on those Pacific Rim macines, or, replace with Jacobs before ever turning it on! Sometimes it helps to find an "O-ring" type belt to replace the V-belt, which are often "nasty" and cause noise just be rotating around the pulleys! But this would only be for that fastest speed, NOT for "slow, 1/2" dia. metal-drilling speed"! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
