If I had to bet money, I'd say you're not feeding fast enough (pushing
hard enough). You should be able to countersink a 1/2" hole in steel at
500 RPM with some practice.

I'd bet that the drill press would probably stall with the necessary
amount
of pressure being applied.

I bet you are right, given my cute little drill press. Not that I've
managed to stall it yet. Usually, the drill bit slips in the chuck.

Are there countersink tools available with three flats on the shank?
