I use Carbide Drill Bits from Think & Tinker  www.thinktnk.com

Never used any resharpened bits before only new bits.

Also use them in Dremel tools in Dremel drill presses and don't have 
much problem breaking bits, about the only time I do is moving the 
board or trying to drill or enlarge a hole by hand while loading 
parts into the board and can not use the drill press.  So when 
drilling by handheld dremel I use standard steel bits they flex 
better.

In the Dremel drill press I have used down to .70mm (.0280") (never 
had a need for anything smaller) with very little breakage.  Check 
and make sure the nut that hold the drill mount is tight, if it is 
not then it will have more play in it, allowing the drill mount to 
move when you apply presure.
