Broken centre drill recovery

[Robin Hewitt]

Here's a spotting drill

Hi John

I saw them, bought one in 8mm, seems okay but I was not instantly converted. Still like my Slocombes

Hi Gilly

I have tried that in the past with varying degrees of success. If the broken end starts to turn it usually prepared to drop out. If it flips and suddenly becames a lot taller, being edgeways on, it is goodbye carbide cutter. That's why I favour attacking them with a cheap masonary bit if I can't be fagged to set up and spark it out

best

Robin
