The variator does need occasional adjustment to ensure there is no slippage under high torque conditions. It sounds to me like you have to adjust the swash plates a bit to eliminate this.
I can push a 28mm drill bit into 1021 carbon steel with a 10mm pilot hole and it won't slip. I use carbide and have made some very aggresive cuts to the point it turned the toolpost but never has the variator slipped.
Morrisman; thanks. Before I moved to Norway I only owned a bench grinder and a circular saw. The rest I have managed to accumulate here. Living so close to Sweden has been a huge plus as Sweden is a machinists Mecca.
