no, no problem

Pretty low, I'd guess (the RPM)..as afore mentiones, copper gets hot.
I know, I know, but I seriously don't have the money for a mill at the moment. When I move to my own place, and I have some land I may make that investment, but for the moment I need a drill press for some wood work I've been planning, and just want to make sure it can be used for other purposes. Plus it's not actually costing me anything... always good
