What company makes the best center finding drill bit set? I am tired of "fixing" my projects when one of the drill bit breaks off and is embedded into my project.

Do you mean spring loaded self centering bits, AKA a Vix bit?

I got a set of Bosch, surprisingly made in USA and it was like $20.

Got mine four years ago, $28 now.

Thank you. Hopefully those do not have drill bits that like to shear off when trying to predrill screw holes on your finished piece.

I'm not a production shop and don't use them for a living but I've had no problems. Just make sure to not load them laterally when in use and they should be fine.

Those use regular drill bits held in a spring-loaded fixture.  You still need to control the angle of entry.

If you are breaking drill bit, something is wrong with your set up or technique.
