Just to be clear... It would need to be 0.5 mm for this job.
I've used my smallest, a 1.5 , to remove all plastic I could. Still doesn't bash through. now I am going to try drilling the core again with some new bits
Idk what chain drilling is and after watching an extremely Canadian video about it I still don't know. Anyway what you got to imagine here is a a 5mm plastic plug with a 3mm carbon steel core... That's why I posted in this section
Yeah I think this is something a bit hard to grasp.. the screw in question is barely visible in the picture because it is lodged glued into the plastic plug which is in turn also stuck in its hole.
The screw you can see in the picture are there to illustrate what the pieces are, that are stuck...
Thanks ok what sort of tube would you buy for that and how would you heat it? I'm hearing induction mentioned... Is that something that can be used on this small scale?
Dissolving the plastic and or heating the screw to soften it are all sounding very interesting. What tool would you buy for that? Have you done this before?
Yeah by drill it I basically meant obliterate it haha but anyway are your suggesting that a correctly sized/heated metal tube could slice through the surrounding plastic? That sounds appealing in theory.... Albeit well beyond my current capability.
Not quite sure what you mean about drilling the heads off... There are indeed no heads left and that's my problem.
This plastic plug was stuck in before I glued in and then broke the head a carbon steel Screw. It's definitely not gonna wind itself out now.
Yeah apparently cobalt bits don't...
Hi Firstly yes I am a DIY novice.
Trying to fit front roof bar on a 12 year old ford fiesta. Its a bit of a job.. have to excavate the holes and remove plastic plugs before you can bolt into them. But back bar all went fine.
Front plugs didn't want to come out and just bored out really soft...
