    My understanding from the jig directions is you need the 2000 RPM speed for drilling the hole not driving the screw. If I am incorrect please feel free to correct me.

    Correct, AFAIK. Drilling is a higher speed operation. Driving is personal, but I prefer low speed for that.

    Several years ago I built a large face frame fo a built in cabinet. Clamped it well and when done it was flush all around. Came back the nextday and every joint was misaligned a couple of thousands. My fingers could feel it and it was noticeable upon close visual inspection. What amazed me was that it was every joint and uniform. Took it apart and reassembled but this time with a small amount of glue. Problem solved.

    I had the same thing happen. Then I glued and clamped and screwed. Once I got the Domino I decided that was just a quick and no risk of misalignment
