In terms of power shouldn't u use just chips over drills. thanks

P.S. I know both is better than just one

BAM!
Well I belive the ships stall before the drills do. So there for i belive the drills have more power. For example. We run drills on one side chips on the other side. We only rip our belts(breco flex timing belts) on the drill side. That makes me belive that the drills are stronger then the chips or that the drills have a higher stall current.
