Sounds like you're drill bit is blunt or your drill isn't running fast enough  |

If you are trying to drill stainless steel you will have no chance with carbon steel cheap drill bits. You will need at least a H.S.S ( High Speed Steel) drill bit better still a tungsten drill bit.
Also make sure drill is sharp, and indeed you are running clockwise. Easy mistake with reversible power tools. Also put a dab of oil on the surface you are drilling to lubricate but mainly keep the drill tip cool. If using a high speed model drill the drill heat will immediately heat the cutting edges and dull them.

Plus 1 for a tungsten drill bit preferably in a drill press with the igo-l well secured ... it is very easy to snap a small diameter drill bit with a hand power tool.
Agree with Blakey lol .. maybe you should edit the thread title or you will get all the hairdressers excited.
