Stuck setscrew update..
A couple of days ago a guy from the local sawmill
stopped in for advice on how to remove a stuck setscrew in a log de-barker head. It was about 3/4 below flush, 3/8 thread. I gave him a 3/16 drill welded to an extension and told him to turn it as slow as possible with heavy pressure. The hex was stripped out bad. The bits he had would not touch it. He came by today and said he got it out and didn't break the drill but he used a hammer drill to turn it! The drill went through the screw with no arguing at all! He was a happy camper.. ;)} Thought you guys would like to hear this.... I never thought of using a hammer drill for this.... phil k. |
