Drill yo Mama. And Granma, too. :-)

You can't just plunge through 2" of oak in one
big attack. You have to relieve the chips regularly.

I did. As much as practical.

I've never had a drill stuck so tight in wood that putting the drill
motor in reverse couldn't back it out.

Drill press had no reverse.

But if you do break it off, take
it to a machine shop and let them cut through the broken bit with a
carbide end mill.

Turns out the damned thing is full of hardened epoxy. I didn't
realize it was that resistant to a small drill bit.
