Yupzzzzzzzzz
That's what boards / forums are good for.

Do stupid things so the experts can show-off and brag.

Sean, how did it turn out, post some pix.

Funny Mike...I just sat down to post a pic and saw this post. I was out of town last night until about 11:40pm (buying a truck)...so did not do anything with it until today. It looks good Mike.

I got the rail back yesterday. That would be a one week turn time from when I sent it out. Attached is a pic of the rail and tap. The black on the end of the tap is whatever Mike welded to it to get it out.

I was digging around to find my new tap to finish tapping the hole...when I noticed that Mike had already did that for me. Thanks again

Thanks Mike and everyone else here that either offered me advise, or offered to remove it for me. I can get back to building my mono again now...

Glad to see Mike hooked you up he s a good guy Ive been there and done that Another good place to get taps and tools is WT Tool (Wholesale Tool) WWW.WTTOOL.COM just stay away from the offshore garbage they are not as good

An edm would have worked on this problem too, but where this method is really a life saver is on a head bolt that has some corosion and has been twisted off or the hex has been stripped out of an allen bolt, or any bolt that uses a blind hole.
