Novice Question

Being somewhat of a novice with motors/gears/transmissions I have a question. When doing the calculations to determine the correct reduction ratios to achieve a given speed, which rpm number do you start with - no load, normal load, @ max efficiency, or @ max power?

Also, is the "drill motor" everyone keeps talking about needing specs for the one that is in a small box with Bosch on it? Thanks in advance for any help.
