I'm drilling a 3" 3/8" diameter hole in aluminum 6061 and broke 1" of a 1/8" hss bit in the material. How the heck do I get it out? I tried drilling down next to it and pouring an alum/water solution but after 6 hours the bit has only turned slightly darker.
pulling it out with pliers is not an option anymore, what can I do? I have a drill press and live in an apartment.. so I'm limited to what tools I have access to.
