Hi,
I am trying to drill a pilot hole but the second the drill bit touches the wall(wood) it stops spinning. The drill keeps spinning but the bit doesn’t. It spins fine when not against the wood.
Is this a good question?

It sounds like the chuck is not tightened....does the drill bit stop and the chuck keeps spinning, or does the entire drill stop spinning?

The chunk keeps spinning. Just the drill bit stops
What model of drill is it? Does the chuck click multiple time when you tighten it?
Mine does this very thing

Make sure the chuck is tight and ease up on the pressure your putting on the drill. If you putting too much pressure on the drill without the drill spinning fast enough it will bite into the wood and stop moving, and can damage the drill bit shank the part of the drill with out flutes).
