Today I was running the Mazak Turning Center and I accidentally restarted program on the wrong process and crashed an allied spade drill into the face of the part, thus breaking the drill. I was able to salvage the part but now the drill is stuck in the turret. To make matters worse I broke the set screw while trying to remove it. Now there is a chunk in there stuck and no allen wrench fits the broken part. I can't remove the tool until I get that set screw out. I thought about drilling through it with a carbide drill but my fear is that I'll ruin the threads on the turret. Any suggestions??
