You must have one of the high end dremels.. mine's just a cheapy and it won't even spin without a load on the first couple speed settings,

The lowest speed on mine is only good for the 1st 1/4".

I got an old knock off that is way better then my real Dremel. I stack 2 1/4 BB and use #66 on low speed and it doesn't bog. I'll be sad when it dies. It's got over 15000 holes so far

I bought the Seyco Scrollers drill. Easy to use.  Even for the smallest drill bits.

Here you go, this chart shows what drill to use for what blade ... It works great.

I use a #64 drill bit for all my work.   I use this little chuck   https://mikesworkshop.com/collections/accessories/products/mini-drill-chuck-with-4-collets  but I cut that long shaft off, and just chuck up the solid part.  But I almost always use a #2/0R blade. If I go bigger, I have another of those little chucks with a 1/16" drill bit in it, but I really only find myself using it for drilling for the final outside cut, or for a cut if I'm cutting like 3/4" ply for silhouette shapes that will be painted.
