If there is machine flex as the bit drills, AND/OR if the drill speed 
is too slow, you break drills. (speed here means BOTH RPM and

If you're doing multilayer, then epoxy smear becomes a real concern. 
(Hey we've got Markus's and Jeremy's examples for the THP, and I'm 
working to provide the drill <G>)
