NEVER clamp the flutes of a drill bit under the jaws of the chuck. The pressure on the bit won't be even. If you use the small (60-80) drill bits in a Dremel, or other such tool, be resigned to the fact you will probably break bits. It can be done and I have done it, but... If a Dremel mounted bit grabs the material being drilled, there is a good chance something is going to go awry and it won't be the drill. I almost always use a pin vise for the smallest bits. It is slow, you can see the bit flexing, stop and readjust. You won't have that opportunity using a Dremel and I have two of them. Glenn
