I don't usually break taps, but then I don't usually tap 2-56. Broke one today, in bronze casting, tapping manually with top pilot of tapholder rotating in jaws of mill chuck. Tap snapped right at workpiece surface. I have used extractors for size #4 and larger, but it looks as though there is nothing commercially available for #2. Or is there? Thoughts on methods to consider for tap extraction (not how-to's for general tapping) would be appreciated. Thanks.
