   When they drill they boards, they use very small carbide drills, and they   
   replace them after a fairly small number of holes.  (This is, in fact,   
   why a lot of board houses have an extra charge per hole).  There is a fairly   
   large aftermarket for the used drills, since they are still perfectly fine   
   for drilling brass or even steel when they are too worn for fr4.
