That still doesn't explain why it only burns the ash, not other woods that he's drilled..

And it says 500 RPM for hardwood.
That article also discusses carbide and high speed steel bits and is not at all clear whether that chart is safe speeds for carbon steel bits or best cutting speeds for carbide or what.

It might be very sharp, but not a steep enough angle - or two wide a cutting area.
