Is the bit FIRMLY locked up in the chuck ?? or is it slipping ??

Nope...chucked-up to within an inch of its life. When the bit clogs,
it usually stalls the motor. (And if it doesn't stall it, I pretty
much get that seemingly ever-familiar scent of burnt cherry...)



Is the waste stringy?
How much does the bit stick out past the chisel?
Is the bit a relative close fit inside the chisel? The chips should not be
getting stuck between the insides of the chisel and the bit.
