I normally use the same speed I drill with for chamfering the mortise. Never had any problems. I usually just press the stummel against the spinning countersink and it just does what it's supposed to do.
EDIT: Oops... wrong hole, but same thing except I don't manually hold the stem when doing this step. I do this step with the stem chucked up in my Taig. As for the rest, what Kurt says below. I use a single fluted countersink and have had zero problems.

This can also be due to the type of countersink you use. I've found that the multi-flute countersinks will leave a rough surface, while the single-flute or O-flute type leave a very smooth finish. It is, as far as I can determine, a function of the angle of the cutting edge and the self-centering ability of the single-flute type.
