Dusty,Ken,JLV5337- Thanks for the "been there" tap tips. The safety tip is good also....When I was 12 I put a chip from a train ball bearing race into my eye. Biggest chip the experienced Dr. ever took out without taking out the eye too!

Anyway, I think I'll suit up and try a couple whacks. I suppose you mean a drift punch. I tried exotic drill bits that were designed for "hardened metal"...They didn't wear out, but they didn't cut either.

I think if my own devices fail, I will go the loctite route.

Thanks again for the good advice! - Scott
