> In my experience most broken tap removal that leaves you with a servicable
hole, requires drilling. Even in large applications on steam turbine
maintenance overhauls I used to collect all the EZ-outs, and other gadgets
from the millwrights and have them use a tap size drill and tap out the
remaining metal. Still a tricky operation, but then you aren't trying to
extract the EZ-out.
