Doug, interesting, I guess the dewalt drills were never designed to be used as a tail stock drill and used at relatively low speeds. I drill at medium pillar drill speeds whatever they are, not in workshop at the moment. I guess that if you are drilling into a piece of end grain rosewood the drill will almost want to tap the wood as opposed to drill it?
