I'm thinking I'm at somewhere around 300 rpm. I'd have to check but I know it's one of the lowest setting with my press. Even then it sometimes smokes the oil. I usually just hold down the blade with a gloved hand and the 1/4" bits will sometimes try to grab as they punch through. I can't imagine 3000 rpm, that's like about top speed for my press. I'd end up fusing the bit to the blade! Or launching something akin to a lawnmower blade!
