Buy one from BQ whatever speed, within a week it will run at the lowest you would think possible and then blow up, made in China!!

I bought a Bosch variable speed which can run slow enough to be used as a screwdriver.

Thanks all for the answers. The reason I want it to be low rpm and corded is for use as a permanent bench drill.
I did think of variable but I want it permanent on low and not too big in area. Cheers Hard@it

Some variable speed drills have a rotary adjustment which sets and "locks" the maximum speed at whatever you want. Mine can also be used as a screwdriver, and it can be set to run at a very slow speed in this way. This is effectively "permanent". I think mine is also Bosch. Worth investigating I reckon.
