Now that makes sense as I kept trying to limit feed, yet a few times it overloaded the drill and stopped it.
Most wood drills require frequent unloading. If you don't do this, it will get stuck or it will break. Also called woodpecker drilling.
I always used to do that... but since I started using that "relief hole" I found I could get away not doing it... I still do it but found I just don't have to.
I did the same with the TCT, but maybe I brought it down too hard (???) on one of the plunges.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
