Note: can't figure out why Ridgid didn't put LH drill bits in that kit.
I went on their site and sent them an email.

That definitely makes sense! LH drill bits do have one drawback, though. They do not always work well with keyless chucks, as the reverse torque can have a tendency to loosen the chuck.Note: can't figure out why Ridgid didn't put LH drill bits in that kit.

Hi Gary,They're here.........
No joy so far.
Carbide burr nope
drill bit in the mill, nope.
that bottom up method too many talked about is kinda scary. these don't have any center mark on the bottom and it's a mighty small hole through the jet seat area.
Pretty sure the tungsten electrode would snap, as it is pretty brittle. I would rather use a 1.6 mm arc welding rod, and slowly build up something to turn the easy out with. A company called Magna used to have rods well suited to this.Never tried it but....
Touch a TIG electrode to the easy out. Pull the trigger for a second... easy out welds itself to the electrode... pull it out... maybe?
You're prolly right, but here's my thinking. The quick burst of heat would also melt the brass... giving a small window of time to easily extract the steel piece. Yeah... it's a long shot.Pretty sure the tungsten electrode would snap, as it is pretty brittle. I would rather use a 1.6 mm arc welding rod, and slowly build up something to turn the easy out with.
