Bit is not cutting effectively.
Check the drill speed; ensure it is set to high. Verify the bit is suitable for the material. Check for any damage or wear on the diamond tip. Apply even pressure and avoid forcing the drill.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Bit Insertion: Insert the bit securely into the drill chuck, ensuring a tight fit to prevent slippage.
Drilling Technique: Begin drilling at a slight angle to prevent the bit from wandering. Once a small indentation is made, bring the drill to a 90-degree angle and apply steady pressure. Let the bit do the work.
