You could very well have a defective bit, of a dull bit. It makes all the
difference in the world.
Also, when drilling metal... Use med speed, low to med pressure, (be patient.. metal takes a long time to scrape away) and helps
to use some lubricant oil. Remove chip buildup frequently from the
crevice. Douse bit in cool water every so often and pause for a little
while to allow bit and drill to cool if drilling thru deep metal.
