Drilling with Foredom
Double check that it is not running in reverse - the switch on the motor has three settings forward, off and reverse. Make ABSOLUTELY certain that the drill is rotating the correct way. A 1mm hole in 2mm silver should go through in a less than a minute or so. Follow all the suggestions above.
Edited to add - if you have the quick release handpiece make sure it is properly closed (the flip handle in line with the body of the handpiece) and that the drill is the correct size (2.35mm shaft). Otherwise the jaws in the handpiece will not be gripping the drill and it will never drill a hole.
