Extracting Broken Drill Bit | | A guy I work with busted off a #43 drill (.089) into an custom part (1018 cold rolled steel) we are making. This happened on the last operation on a labor intensive part. The bit is broken off about 1/4 inch below the surface of the part. We are trying to extract this bit so we can re-drill the hole and hopefully salvage the part. Any ideas on how to do this. We would prefer not to drill it out with a smaller bit but if that's what needs to be done, I guess we have no choice. Thanks guys.
