Got a hammer and a good solid punch?
Yes, and a mill, and a 20 ton press, but...
So one approach is the end mill from the back. Would have to be small as
the tap, or smaller.
Which is better first attempt; mill or hammer?
Once it's out [HA!] is there such a thing as a helicoil? Or do we drill &
set a
alumimum dowel in from the back?
Of course, if someone in Laurel MD has an EDM tap remover......
Basically, I earn my living fixing this kind of ****, err or mostly by
making sure that it never happened in the first place...
Got any money ?
