Default Inlay Problem

I've been experimenting with an inlay kit. I have 2 actually. The problem I've been having is, I keep breaking the 1/8" bits. I have been cutting about 3/32" for the recess, and cutting 1/8" inlays and sanding even after installing. I have broken two 1/8" spiral bits and an 1/8" straight bit. Should I be cutting a little at a time until I get to the desired depth? 3/32 just doesn't seem too much to break the bits. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am really interested in continuing this practice, but I can see it getting pretty expensive at this rate.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
