Default Bugger, broken drill bit...

I have a 3/32" HSS bit broken off ~1" deep in a blind hole in a 7075 AL
part, only a tiny stub of the bit is sticking out. Suggestions on how to
remove it without damaging the part?

Thanks,

Pete C.



I would MIG weld a nut on the tiny bit of bit available. If looks is
critical, I happen to have some copper tape that I would put on the part
with the drill sticking through.
