Thanks all. Lloyd, yeah I'm retired and I think it'd be educational,
plus I already spent an hour or two picking and pecking at it.

I know you want an excuse/reason to build your own EDM but...

Jody has a nice youtube video on getting taps and such out with a TIG
welder. Which now we know you have a nice one available to use ;-)

Cool video, Leon. That'll be my first try.

Yeah, Jody makes it look easy-peasy...

Some practice runs first, using similar materials of little value would
probably be helpful...

When I was young and foolish I used to cut/burn out problem items
similar to that with an acetylene torch. Nowadays I think I'm too
cautious and worry too much about screwing up the good parts some how.
Some practice first would be really helpful but it's against my nature
to use up consumables in that manner...
