Hello all. Not one of my better days. S/N 61328 built 1952 fitted with the later type compound with the "spud" for lack of knowledge of a proper term. So I made a ball turning tool with a "spud" and had it in out of the cross slide many times fitting it, checking tool height, etc. No trouble removing it until after the first real test and now it won't. Best I can tell the locking plugs are jammed though I can lift the tool from flusb by ~ 1/16". I've tried a chip of a thin Neodymium from a hard rive, cleaning, turning it with hemostats. All no-go.
I figure worse case I can drill and tap the plugs "if" they don't just spin in the hole. Big if.
So ideas?
As always, TIA!
