Hello All:
Yesterday I broke off a lag bolt in hard maple. Today, I broke off a screw
extractor.... argggg!
Next option is to use a hole saw to cut out the screw along with a section
of the wood. I remember that someone makes a small hole saw just for this
application. I thought it was Lee Valley but I don't see it on thier web
site. Seems that the smallest regular hole saw is 5/8", which is much bigger
than I need.
Anybody know the hole saw, broken screw tool I am thinking of?
Thanks,
Jim

You didn't happen to buy that extractor from Woodcraft did you? A friend
just recently bought from Woodcraft and it shattered after a couple uses.

I'd recommend a face shield from the description that my friend gave me
of the way his shattered.

Funny you should say that I just had the same thing happen to me using the
Woodcraft extractor. I had just started the hole and it shattered scattering
pieces everywhere. Make sure you wear eye protection and gloves when using
these. I could easily break the shattered pieces with a pair of pliers so IMHO
these extractors are too brittle to be safe/useful.
