A little learning. Instead of sinking the pilot hole with the drill press, I used the mill at 1 inch per minute, .7 inches deep. Using the power screwdriver with the lefthanded extractor bit just slipped in the jaws, so I used a tap wrench. It worked!

Screw Extractor
I have never had much luck using screw extractors. Today, it worked. I was using a power screwdriver to sink some 6-32 stainless steel SHCSs. I had the torque too high, and I stripped the inner hexagon. (For odd reason, no one makes round Allen wrenches.)

Can often use a small flat driver to catch the edges of the hex as well...
ReplyDeleteGood idea if I ever have one with any corners left.
