Yeah, and "guage" is a small town in Kentucky.

The numbered screw formula is:
MD = 0.060 + 0.013 * N
where:
MD = major diameter in inches
N = screw number (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10 ... 12 and 14 found in some very antique equipment).

One of last year's winter projects was a small EDM (tap buster) for just this situation.

Works well but I want to re-do the electrolyte pump.
Were you closer I would give you access to the machine.

I have a Rocklinizer that deposits tungsten carbide to tool steel, at one time they made an attachment for a small EDM. The main unit is a power supply, the depositor is a vibrating handle, figure you change the electrode and reverse polarity? But before I try that would like to know more info! there is one on ebay way to high price! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rocklinizer-500-Electric-Charge-Generator-with-EDM-Router-Model-9750A-/330660662115?pt=US_Heavy_Equipment&hash=item4cfce94b63
My Rocklinizer is a 600 a larger unit. A long time ago HSM or PIM did a series on a diy EDM (looks like I'm type alphabet soup!) About what year was that??

Just break whats left of the tap in the hole, works every time.
