Default RE: How to tap metal


ORIGINAL: MinnFlyer

Try drilling the hole with the broken drill from the other end. Even if the holes don't line up perfectly, you should be able to get close enough to knock the broken drill tip out from the other side.

Once you've done that, finish drilling the hole from the top and tap it. It may not be perfect, but it will be better than not having a screw there at all.

good idea!
