What’s everyone’s preferred method of removing broken drill bits from steel. I have some 3/8 mild steel plate I needed an 1/8th inch hole and the only bit I could find was a cheap one. It snapped in the hole. Now I’m unable to get it out.

I tried drilling with other bits and it just ruined them. I tried using carbide and it broke the carbide off the bit.

Any ideas?

Hello everybody, The reason I'm posting this is to address the concerns of some of our members. Lately there has been a flood of new members (which is great!). This has lead to an overwhelming amount of posts asking for advise on a variety of things including but not limited to, What is the best anvil? Gas or coal forge? Hopefully this post will help answer some of the most commonly asked questions and provide some useful information. Links will be provided when relevant. This will be broken into sections. If anyone has any suggestions on things they would like me to add or improve on just let me know in the comments. I'm positive I'll have missed something but I hope this helps someone rega
