Answer: The deal is, both the bit and the hole are clogged. Good news: It’s a simple fix. All you need to do, usually, is back the drill bit out of the hole and dive back in. See, what happens is that—no matter how sharp a drill bit is—if it can’t clear the chips from the hole as it moves forward, it will clog. This traps the steel cutting edges in wood fiber and slows things down.
It’s sort of akin to a rake’s tines clogging with leaves. Clear the leaves, and get back to raking. Same deal with a drill bit. Back the bit out of the hole If the bit is really clogged, either spinning it in the air or bumping it against a hunk of wood will knock the fibers off.
Drilling in 6-by material, as it sounds like you’re doing; it is common to have to do this several times per hole.
