What the heck kind of crappy bits are you using? A drill bit should go through a plastic PCB like a hot knife through butter unless your drill chuck wobbles... or are you drilling something like a 1/64" hole or something similarly insane? Ever considered a drill press?

Probably trying to just use my dremel was the culprit and now that I've snapped a bunch of bits. Yes.. I'm considering a drill press.
