Me too, but I rarely break bits since I switched to a home-brew drill stand that seems to eliminate any "hand wobble" from causing breakage. My CNC machine can drill lots of holes with resharpened carbide and a Grizzly pencil-style die grinder. Perhaps rigidity in the holding of the dremel is more important than runout? Or at least, *lack* of rigidity is more common as a cause of breakage?
