With 12 years as a machinist, mechanics who don't know when to stop made my
job much more difficult in removing broken screws. I was in industrial
applications, not automotive. Some mechanics who do a wonderful job
removing broken screws would also make good machinists, they just didn't get
the 2 yr. degreee to make the jump....
if you are not sure take to someone who is..
