So I screwed up. One of the main tools I use is the Midi easy wood Finisher (the round insert) Ci3. Well, I have not lubed the hex screw for a while and the bugger stuck. Tried a lot of things to loosen it - and chatted with the company that makes them - they have been very helpful. Finally decided I needed to drill off the tip of the screw. Still couldn't get all of the screw out. After a few different attempts, I now have a hole all the way through, but still pieces of the screw stuck in there and a HIGH likelihood that I have screwed up the threads. The original screw is a 4x40 5/16. I don't yet know much about threading or retapping things. Any suggestions?
And yes, I do eventually plan on turning with traditional gouges and skews, but haven't had the desire/time/$ to get set up to sharpen well.
Thanks,
Dave
