Mechanical/electrical: Modifying drill for medical research
(OP)
I need to modify this drill which has a 15,000RPM to a 2,000RPM. I am researching this as an alternative to the current expensive drill used for drilling into skulls for cochlear implants. While we could purchase a drill that is already at 2,000RPM, this particular one is nice because it is inexpensive and it's small and easy to stick in someones head. Any ideas on how we can modify?
Thank you!

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
