Grizzly Air Drill

[fRED mCnEILL]

I notice that Grizzly has an air drill that turns 18000 RPM-yes that is 18 thousand rpms.(http://www.grizzly.com/products/3-8-Straight-Air-Drill-18-000-RPM/H6364)
I drill a lot of holes in 40 thous. aluminum laminated to 1/2 inch plywood for 3/16 pop rivets and this would work nicely for me.
Anyone have any experience with one of these.
I question how much torque it would have given the high rpm. I currently use a drill with 3000RPM that works well but maybe more is better.

Thanks

Well RPM and feed rate are related and I would have to wonder how fast you would have to feed a twist drill bit at 18000 to avoid starting a fire!
