Make sure you have fitted new drill bits before starting any project involving wood drilling so as to avoid similar situations from happening again.
When using power tools be sure of handling them properly, always use safety goggles or protective glasses when working with wood drill bits.
Always sand the edge of the hole before drilling, this will make your job much easier when trying to remove a broken drill bit after completing your task or project.
Don’t try to force it back down, you might end up damaging your power tools in the process.
Remove all dust particles around the breakage area before starting anything else.

You must move slowly while inscribing the shape of your desired opening on the surface. The same applies when removing broken drill bits from wood too.
