Or, listen to him from beginning to end.
Did he Tell you to jam that EZOut in the Savage head or did he say Drill it till you can tap it?
You were within a sixteenth. That's a 32nd wall, and If anything can Grip metal a sixteenth or thinner, it's Gonna Bend it.. Driving something Into a hole spreads the inner piecs Out, Tighter against the outer piece.
But yeah, pick one.
You ask for advice, get it, argue, do something else, it blows up in your face, you ask for advice on how to fix what you were Told not to do.
And wonder how people could be frustrated.
If your dad Told you to drill until you could tap, and, from the looks of the head, best I can see, he frikken NAILED drilling that thing.. Looks to me like a bit larger and you would have been ready to tap.
If your excuse is not having the next size up, please don't type it.
Yeah, Justin, Give Dad all the good credit and make me look bad?
He wasn't the only one with the drill in his hands. He was the one who tried to use a torch, a large tip to make it worse, to attempt to cut a small steel bolt out of an aluminum head. He hoped that his experience cutting 1/2 inch bolts out of aluminum panel boards in the mines would carry him through this problem. Problem is, the bolt is too small, and the torch head too big, assuming
any torch head would do it. I had little faith that he would succeed, and he proved me correct. He lately attempted again to drill on that bolt some more, and I jumped onto him. I am afraid he won't do a good job, and I feel more inclined to do it on a drill press. At any rate, the idea is-- in the words of Frank Sinatra-- that "I did it my way." I'll need the carbide bits too. It's a $400 head. I don't want to lose it.
Besides that, today I talked to a local bike shop owner who said they might be able to do it for $75 if I bring him the head.
