It was my understanding that too slow was ok, as long as I was reducing pressure enough, just enough to keep making chips. that cutting speed for drills was a maximum for production purposes. Is that incorrect?

my drill speed chart is showing 2500-3000 rpm for a .136 dia drill in mild steel. I would think a slower speed is ok to a point but you are probably turning too slow.
