That is what I did. Even at times with my drill press, it was unhappy with a 1/2” drill bit. Granted, it’s a small drill press but it didn’t like it.I’ve smoked a lot of cordless drills at work. Still a lot of stainless.
Best way to keep from overheating them is to step the bit size up to reduce the load, about 5mm at a time.
If the motor starts getting hot I will just let it run for a minute with no load to get the air circulating.
The brushless motors run a lot cooler.
