What happens is that the drill goes down into the hole very slowly and when it reaches the depth just above the material to drill, it plunges into the material at the fast rate (which would normally be the retract rate).

If not, then at least I have a clue where the error comes from, but that still doesn't fix my problem. I really want to keep using my pendant.
