Tap snapped in hole

<< < (2/3) > >>

steampunkpete:
To educate the ignorant (i.e. me) could the job have been done by spark erosion, or does that not work with a steel component embedded in aluminum?

mfletch:
Good job there John think I would have tried welding a nut on the tap first only because I can't weld alliuminum

Joules:
I sympothise with you John,  I am currently trying to get cash out of nut's who have had a job done.

DavidA:
mfletch,

How were you going to weld a nut onto the tap ?

Sounds like a technique I could use.

Dave.

If not too much of the head had been damaged by the tap wielder then yes EDM would take it out nicely. However most have fairly limited tank sizes which could have been a  limiting factor.
