Thank You Jodie


Broke a tap off in a workpiece.

Looked at you video on how to TIG weld a nut to a broken stud/tap.
Followed your instructions and no worries - got the little sucker out.

By necessity thread taps are very hard and brittle. Any side loading when turning them can cause them to fracture. Jody's tips are valuable IME and I too thank him for sharing his expertise and real world experience.
