Yeah, common complaint.  For my CNC machine I went with an air
micro-die-grinder instead, much less runout.

But even with the dremel's runout, the only times I broke drill bits was
when I dropped them or did something stupid with them.  I never broke
one by drilling, although getting the hole in the right spot was
sometimes tricky, even with drill helpers.
