Subject: Re: Proxxon 38128 drill press -- collets for small bits?

From: "Ray" <rcbuckiii@...>

I use these guys for my drill bits. Less than $1 each. I use a dremel tool in the dremel stand running at about 10K. It is extremely rare for me to break a bit and they last forever. The ones that I break are usually because I do something dumb like accidentally hitting the bit while I'm adjusting the drill stand height.
