Why does the drill bit burn or smoke on my Baileigh Industrial DP-1200VS Power Tool?

If your Baileigh Industrial Power Tool's drill bit burns or smokes, several factors could be at play. It might be due to an incorrect speed, which requires adjustment. Another reason could be that chips are not coming out of the table; in this case, retract the bit frequently to clear them. A dull bit can also cause this issue, so consider sharpening or replacing it. Feeding too slowly can also lead to burning or smoking, so increase the feed rate to allow the drill to cut effectively. Insufficient lubrication can also be a culprit, so be sure to lubricate the bit. Lastly, ensure the bit isn't running backward by checking the motor rotation to confirm it is clockwise facing the shaft end.
