The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Need way to remove broken tap from crank end

At the machine shop that I work in I have broken many taps. Try using a punch and just smack the tap a couple of times. A tap is brittle. Some times you can just shatter the tap. And when that does not work a carbide drill bit works but you have to be steady because the carbide will break also. Good Luck.
