40 years is a long time and I have been in a position of cleaning up other peoples messes of broken bolt, easyouts, and drill bits since 1960. It all depends on the broken tools position and condition. Some times they can be broken out without more damage. Each case may take a different approach. I would load up smaller parts years ago and take them to an EDM machine and have them burned out. After starting my own tool building shop in 1977 I soon found that what my Dad had told me on several occasions, that I could have cultivated a lot of corn in the time I took driving on the road to the house several times a day. I can use a die grinder and even if it is slow going I could grind the center out of a broken tap in less time it would take to drive to a machine shop that had an EDM and then wait until they could get someone to burn it out and drive back. All the time a grinding stone is on the broken hard piece it is getting smaller and not damaging the hole beyond repair. It takes a few years of actually doing something to figure out that some jobs there is no magic quick way to remedy a problem.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
