Broken tap removal
Anybody got a trick to removing a broken 3/8 tap from a hole? Buddy was cleaning up threads in engine block and somehow snapped the tap off.

Re: Broken tap removal
I'll have to bookmark that, it looks fantastic. It would be most difficult to drill a tap for an easy out. But those look like just the right thing. Let us know how it works out.

Re: Broken tap removal
If that set works, you will be money ahead.
Here is the set like that I am used to. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Walton-Tools-.../dp/B0006NGGCM You can also make a chisel out of an old tap with a Cupped shape on the inside. I can send a Picture if you're interested in that idea. Carbide is the best thing for get HSS taps out. But carbide prefers a Ridgid setup or it with chip and break. Dremel tool with carbide Deburring tool works also especially if it cannot be setup in a milling machine.
