I built a jig for my dremel out of some scrap wood - cantilevered
arms, haven't broken a bit with it yet.  I got a box of random sized
carbide PCB drills (resharpened) for $50, although I pretty much only
use the 13, 26, and 35 mil ones.  I also have a set of #61-#80 wire
drills from Woodcraft that I sometimes use with it.

The only wiggle left in that system is the runout in the dremel
itself.
