	I over tightened this I decided to tap a new hole and a cobalt drill bit has snapped off. Is there a thing which can drill out a broken drill bit? Sorry i know this is bad but it keeps coming back to my mind so i may as well say it out loud, can i glue the blanking plate over the top? I have a tin of this

	Quick update: I had previously tried a spot weld removal bit to see if it would go through the broken bit. I don't think it did but it removed some of the metal around it so i could get some needle nose pliers and manipulate it out Thank Christ Now i'll see if i can tap a new thread

	Well done, these job can easily grow legs and turn in to massive tasks. Its worth buying a Presto or Dormer quality drill bit for important jobs
	It will come in handy even if you never use it
