But, if you are just drilling a few holes, program it with a G83 with shorter pecks and higher feeds to help clear chips. Your drill should not slip. Was that in the holder?
Say, G83 Z-????? R.1 Q.03 F10. Up your RPM a little if you can. Don't know your machine. You might consider drilling a pilot hole of about 3/8" to save power on the 17/32nds drill.
Again, don't go slow or you will seize up the drill or load it up with chips.
Good luck learning.
