Micro extractor set

Skiddz · 04-15-2011, 10:49 AM

Anyone got a line on a micro extractor set? I've got a few M2 screws snapped off in an airplane yoke that I need to remove and I'm having a helluva time finding reverse drill bits or an extractor set (or both) to get 'em out.

Thx

Only way I can think to do is use dental drill bit to make a hole then drive in a micro Allen key such as the 0.8 mm, being small they don't usually take much force to get out. If you know a dentist they would probably have a preloved bit they could let you have.

I have used this for getting out rounded set screws

I haven't used these but may work for you.

managed to find a left-handed 1/16" drill bit. (1.59mm) Got two of the three screws out no problem. The third is proving to be problematic. Will try some heat and colorful language on Monday.
