Briefcase ] I'ver been reviewing the ptg archives regarding the bst way to remove agraffes that have broken fluch with the plate. i'm trying to determine which is best; using a reverse thread drill bit, or using a standard bit to to drll a pilot hole for the ez-out. Another method that i heard about was to dig a slot across the broken agraffe, then "unscrew' it with a slot blade screwdriver. Hmmm, sounds like it might work. Also, will I need any special type of drill bit to penetrate the brass, like diamond tip, or? And what about center punching the agraffe so the drill bit won't "wander"? Will a sharpened awl do the trick? Love to get ideas. thanks! Terry Peterson
