Filo Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 welding will not work. HSS is brittle,when you weld it the heat makes it even more brittle.It will snap alot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Possible solution: After asking a few engineers one pointed me in the direction of a specialist tool shop on an industrial estate a few miles from where I work. Tool. I have one on order and am going to pick it up on Saturday. Looks like the small teeth like bits on the end slot into the gaps in the tap, bob's your uncle it twists out! Frame saved!
