Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yup...

Got good metal bits for a good drill? Start smaller and work your way to bigger.

Otherwise, you're towing it to a real shop and paying a few hundred bucks for a bolt extraction.

And, yeah, they're not really hot enough to melt the metal out. It doesn't work that way - which is probably good. You'd have people melting the frames and shit like that.

he said he might be able to drill a small hole all the way through the center

Start with that and then use bigger and bigger drill bits. Then, you can cut the bolt or just smash the sidewalls of the bolt, collapsing it into the middle. (I think I gave more details in an earlier post.)

That's your only realistic option at this point. Try for the bolt's center as much as you can. Drill it through and then just use bigger bits. At some point, it may actually just pull out, but that's what I'd try next - under good lighting.

Use penetrating/cutting oil if you've got it.

wouldnt you think a hole would let the whole thing get hotter? then the hammering it might break it loose before drilling and drilling again
