    Z feed and speed drilling

    I have just cncd my sx2 mill with 280 oz in (1.89Nm ) motors and 1605 ball screw and nuts.
    I'm drilling deep holes in aluminum with a new 5mm hss drill. I'm using the following deep drill gcode G98G83X6.749Z-27.066Q0.531R3.0F10 spindle running at 2500Rpm.
    It's taking over 35 minutes to drill 4 holes and I'm losing steps.
    There's no counter balance or gas struts on the mill and I'm using WD40.
    Question should I expect to get faster results without losing steps.
