New to this board, first post. Just read the post about removing taps. I am building a small Ferris Wheel. The outside is a 12 sided polygon. Each piece has two 2-56 x 1/4 SHCS, a lot of drilling. When I made the posts to hold the seats I picked a # 49 bit out of my index by accident and did not realize what I had done until I completed the drilling operation. When I put the 2-56 tap in the hole I think I said holy smokes ( or perhaps something stronger). So being a bit lazy and not wanting to do the job over & not being able to increase the screw size I thought I would use some locktite to hold them in. When I tried the screw I found that it tapped the hole quite well. I tried the same method with some short #6 & #8 on scrap and they were ok. Don't think I would use this method as normal practice but like everyone else I hate breaking small taps. Hope this helps someone.
