Default Air powered booster pump?

Larry Jaques fired this volley in
:

I just got another 21
billdrits from HF yesterday for $2.97. 1/16", the size I break most
often.


Larry, you should work on that. You certainly should be wearing out
bits; but not breaking them. 1/16" twist drills don't break any easier
than any other size, if you're running them at the right chip load, with
the right lubricant.

What and how are you drilling that you break enough bits to justify
having a entire pocket-full of just the one size? (And, you know those
Horrible Fright drills aren't centered, and don't have consistent rake
from flute to flute???)
