At some point the amount I spend on replacing broken drill bits will surpass the amount it would cost to buy a drill press 🙄

I was looking into a new drill the other day, as my current electric drill has a loose chuck. I have a bunch of old drill bits, some that I bought and some that I inherited. It turns out that neither type of shank that they have is listed by ScrewFix nor Toolstation. Marvellous.

@rysiek cannot help but think of a next step, for when some will be tired to wait after legislators to do their job uncorrupted, or for manufacturers to stop producing data-collecting-crap.. or for those who don't want to wait...

collecting information/manuals of where to drill, as safely as possible, to kill those chips, interrupt those "smart" circuits, etc?

Sometimes your skills come in useful for more functional items.

I didn't like using the cases that my drill bits came in and decided to make a stand for them with dedicated spaces, with measurements, for each bit. From 0.3 to 2.45 mm.

A few pieces of plasticard and some foamboard later...

One change I would make is the stagger the bits and not have them in a line as sometimes it's tricky to get certain bits out.
