Etching out broken taps & drills.
I'm trying to determine which of the acids we used to use, in the old days,
to disintegrate broken taps or drills. I remember when that was done occasionally, but don't remember which acid was used. I have a friend who has a broken drill in cast iron and I thought this might be a possibility before we start chopping at it with carbide tools and make matters worse. It might at least loosen it up enough to remove by hand. It's a 1/8" dia. drill and not in too deep, about 3/16", but it's bound pretty tight.
