Is this safe?

Is it safe to put a 1/4" brad point drill bit into a router with a 1/4" collet? Concerned about the 25,000+ rpms that the router turns.

Thanks

Well the drill part is not going to fly apart.

A long time ago I bought a set of Grizzly brad point bits for $10 that I'd be very afraid to do that with.

Spend $15 on a 1/4" upcut spiral carbide bit.

I agree with Gerry. All bits do not meet the specs for the size as they begin life as drawn wire. I would not recommend using a 1/4" bit in a router.
