Even if it were a perfect circle, a 0.25" plunge (about twice my normal) on a 12" radius means it's offset by only 2-3 mil. I think the amount of slop in the whole system is more than that, esp in the runout of the bit itself. A normal plunge would be way less than the runout. Plus, because there's two beams, at least the dremel is still vertical as it plunges - it's not itself rotating about a point 12 inches away. But either way, the results are good - I rarely break drill bits, and usually when I do it's because of something stupid I did (like drop them) and not the drill press.
