How to use:

Step 1:

Remove as much as practical of any uneven broken top surface of the tap, creating a reasonably flat surface for the Omegadrill to drill into.

Step 2:

Clamp the part securely. Use as large a diameter Omegadrill as possible to spot the broken tap. Drill at 1,200 to 2,500 RPM on a rigid and stable machine tool such as a machining center or knee mill.

Step 3:

Using the recommendedsize Omegadrill, drill down through the broken tap. Drill dry or use straight cutting oil not coolant. Peck the drill and flush chips out frequently with an air blast. Best results are achieved with using light quill hand feed on a knee mill. When reaching the bottom of the broken tap, a slight vibration will be felt. It is best to stop drilling at this point, to minimize any risk of damage to the Omegadrills cutting edges.

Step 4:

Using either a scriber, or the picks and pin vise supplied with the Omegadrill set,remove the remnants of the broken tap flutes.
