Sorry to see snapped tap.!! Done it my self so know how it feels.!. . . Proper B@~~rd to get out. I just pecked away at it with pointy centre punch and kind of half destroyed it untill came came apart and loosened.
No I'm cutting 16mm wide by 6mm deep horizontally and then putting 5mm flat strip over the top to create it....
