This just popped into my head, so take it for what it's worth...

Get one of those cryo wart remover kits. ($20 - 30) Also a rare earth
magnet. (Free out of a junk hard drive) Heat up the area with the pin using
a torch. Heat as large an area as the torch will do, being careful to avoid
a sharp temperature gradient. (Don't want to crack the casting) Use the cryo
kit to quick-freeze the pin, then immediately pick it out with the magnet.

That seemed less goofy in my head. Still...

Incidentally, I have a Rigid riser block on my grey Jet BS. The pin holes
didn't line up, so I took the pins out. Hasn't been an issue. Actually, it
allowed me to correct a problem with non-coplanar wheels that I had had
before the riser block.

Well, I did it. I was trying to install a riser in another Delta 14
inch bandsaw and I snapped the back pin in half. It was sliding out
of the holes when I failed to lift the top arm evenly and it just let
go. Does anyone have any proven suggestions for removing the broken
pieces? These are blind holes and those pins will not drill at all.
Thanks in advance for any insight provided.
