Subject: RE: Broken drill tap.....tap extractor



Chebanse, IL.....

I agree w/Andent. I've broken a few taps also & the tap extractor tool will be a necessity. Usually no drilling or grinding is needed, unless the tap broke off very jaggedly. The extractors are made exclusively for either 3 or 4 flute taps. So, you have to decide which you broke off. The extractor is made of amazingly hard metal & it will remove the broken tap.

You'll spend around $100 at least. I found that the extractor to be a necessity when doing much tap & die work. Here's a tool site with several of them listed. Just google "tap extractor tool" if you want to view more.
