I also would like to get opinions as to how fast, slow to remove them to avoid over-heating and/or scortching the pin block. I know the pins WILL get hot no matter what, (I tested this by using the very lowest rpm possible without stalling) but it seems to me that the main thing to avoid is "spinning" the pin in place when/if it stops rising outward during removal. I try to use lowest rpms to remove each pin, then releasing trigger when it's almost out, letting the drill slow to a stop at which point the pin drops out...ideally. thoughts?
