Gordon R Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Small drill bits bend easily and snap at the drop of a hat. Plus, you are a ham-fisted brute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 i can accept that i will just have to stock up on them,cant do with them halting my progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Do you have a grindstone and can you cut new cutting edges on the broken drills - with the added advantage that shorter drills break less easily. Otherwise it's a matter of buying the best quality drill-bits that you can afford and treating them gently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 sound to complicated for me that mate, i bought some dorma ones as they were supposed to be good, i think as Gordon said, thin drill bits just snap, especially in my hands, i dont really do gentle the last couple of small ones have just been from the local hardware shop so i dont suppose they were any good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 If you search on eBay for 4mm hss stub drills you may find something that will do it. As long as you don't need to drill to a depth, a stub drill will be tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
