@Mouat (James Mouat) posted a new topic, subject "Broken drill bit". It read:

   Hello @woodtechs,
    
    While drilling pilot holes into an ash bowl blank, the wood grabbed the bit (a small one, approx 3mm) and snapped it off, destroying it.
    
    My apologies for the damage. Please let me know the cost for replacing it.
    
    –James.

    I've broken too many 3mm drill bits to remember
    
    We could get a bag of 20 off ebay for a few pounds

Then @Mouat (James Mouat) said

    Thanks guys. I'm glad it's not a big deal, but I still wanted to make sure to make it known. No point in trying to hide it.
    
    if it's any consolation it was a bloody ordeal digging it out of my blank so it could still be turned.

After which, @joeatkin2 (joeatkin2) added

    But ebay bits are a bit random
