There is no way in hell you are turning your mill more than 100 RPM by hand. At least not for any length of time.

There is an optimum speed for milling your grain and I believe it is in the 100-125 RPM range. Cordless drills turn much too fast and are not the best choice to run your mill for this reason.
Edit: Just realized you are advocating the use of a corded drill. As long as you can keep the speed down, I guess this is OK. Just doesn't have the coolness factor that motorizing your mill does.
