When this happens, too much friction builds up and the drill will overheat. Something is blocking the drill’s air vents, if it has them. It could be anything from dust to your hands blocking them.

A carbon brush, also known as a motor brush, is the small part of the motor that conducts electrical current between the stationary wires (stator) and the rotating wires (rotor) of a motor or generator. A motor generally contains more than one carbon brush to conduct electrical current.
A. Replacing starter brushes should be easy, although it depends on the type of motor. Some manufacturers make the procedure effortless by designing motors whose brushes can be changed without disassembling the starter. Here is a short video showing how to replace starter brushes in a typical motor.
Corrosive gases- Corrosive vapors can cause damage to the commutator surface, and therefore, the brushes. Examples include sulfur dioxide, ammonia, and other gases. The vapors can affect the essential film that develops on the commutator when the motor is in operation. This leads to excessive friction and overheating, among other problems. here
Car starter brushes also come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. One of the most popular shape is the square block, although different designs suit different requirements. Design usually determines a brush’s seating on the commutator and can affect its performance.

A typical copper carbon starter brush is made by mixing natural or synthetic graphite with powdered copper and resin. The mixture produces dense brushes that can operate with high-current circuits. The brushes are also low-friction and low-noise with excellent electrical conductivity. more

Once apart we removed everything possible from the motor housing, but were unable to take out the "shoes" that form the field windings around the armature. These require a special tool that we simply didn't have, but close inspection of the windings indicated no problems. That inspection, by the way, was done with a magnifying glass. We took our time and looked through the glass to spot any deterioration of the lacquer film on the windings. Satisfied that the windings were in excellent condition, we carefully cleaned the housing with mineral spirits and the inner electrical components with alcohol.
After cleaning everything we inspected the rear bushing and ring gear engagement assembly, making sure there was no significant wear or binding. Once the bushing and shaft-end were cleaned we measured both the shaft diameter and bushing inner diameter with a caliper to determine need for replacement. The measurement showed a .003 inch clearance, within reasonable tolerance for a short duty cycle motor. If the clearance had been more than .006 we would have replaced the bushing. There is no point in making a starter motor — or anything, for that matter — look new if it doesn't work properly.
To maintain correct curvature, we wrapped sandpaper around the commutator when dressing up the brushes. more
Next came the commutator. Our starter was a true veteran of many engine engagements, and the commutator showed the wear. There were deep grooves and heavy glazing due to the scraping of the brushes and accumulated dirt in the housing. A "serious" sanding of the surface was required, using 320 grit sandpaper followed by 600 grit to smooth things out. more
