Let's have a lil info exchange on a topic that helped build civilization in a big way, afaik.
Specific issue is I have the occasional bolt for vermeer stump teeth that has some beat up threads. despite being new, so I figured I'd get a T and D to clean up the threads a bit rather than forcing the bolt into the hole and hoping for the best. The bolt is a " 1/2" " allen head. I don't have a T and D set so I bought a single size on amazon, it is a 1/2 28. Well the die doesn't fit the bolt ( a bit too small) and btw, the tap is too small for the hole in the stump pocket, which I guess figures. Can thouest shine any light on this question?
Btw, I have another tooth pocket where the bolt broke off flush on one side of it, the other side the tip of the bolt is flush with the face of the pocket. I'm guessing I need an Easy Out but I'm wondering how hard they are to use, I don't have a drill press.
