I just broke my last 0,7mm drill bit.

Well, poo.

I wouldn't mind as much, but I only had three holes to drill and this project would be almost done.

Are you able to regrind a fresh tip?

Smokey bacon crisps must be one of the best inventions of all time.

Seems that part is in one piece, in the chuck.

He could fill in the flutes, top end only, then use the broken drill for the third and final hole.
