I have read that the optimium speed for drilling small holes in thin
aluminium is something on the order of 30k rpm which is well beyond
what any of the drills that I have seen are capable of. There is a 15,
000 rpm drill made by US Industrial availible as well as 4500rpm
models. If I get the 15,000 rpm model, will it have enough torque for
my needs or will I want a second air drill (I have numerous electric
and cordless drills)? What do you guys use and recommend? Which
drills have the best trigger control? I will be building a Moose.


Sioux makes a 6000rpm model which I own and highly recommend for sheet
metal work.
