Dave, can I still do this if the broken bits are stuck in the hole at both ends(since I will be hitting the broken drill bits first)The taper pin is stuck in betweenGetting the hammer blow energy to the taper pin is important. You do not want it going to a flimsy punch or to the rest of the carriage assembly. Only to the taper pin. And I forgot to mention that a round punch could be a little longer than you would like. Longer is not good. Again, could lose energy. If the punch is too long, I would shorten it first. I might be sounding like I’m out there. But for me this is important. I have never had any bad luck removing a taper pin. Some have been stubborn. But they all came out…Dave.
both broken drill bits.
