spindle speed is immaterial; it is the combination of spindle speed versus linear feed.
In fact taking it slowe (lower spindle speed ) produces less smear for two reasons
spindle bearing runout is lower and generated heat is lower.
Chemical desmear process can take place in highly alakaline ( PH=11) solution at 60C for a few minutes.
A good source of high speed spindles is Alfred Jaeger a German company.
A 60K RPM spindle will set you back a few thousand Euro.
You will need a small three phase inverter to drive the spindle ( small - 400watt).
In terms of activation chemistry Think and Tinker from USA have a product, a conductive ink.
I recommend it.
I have used palladium suspension from Atotoech. Very finicky suitable only for continuous production excellent results. Can not recommend it for one off production.
I am using a Russian idea based on copper hypophosphite. Suitable for stop start production. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Requires an electropolishing cell consisting of a high current source( say 10 amps per square decimeter of copper).
Excellent results with minimal chemistry , better adhesion to hole walls than anything I have used to date.
