Walton Tools make very handy tap extensions and a wonderful broken tap extractor – which enables removal of fractured taps in most situations. They use high tensile fingers which fit in the original tap flutes. Available in various sizes and flute number, i.e. 3 flute tap, 4 flute tap. They save many hours www.waltontools.com/
Removing broken Taps – the Easy Way
Thoroughly remove all chips of the broken tap. Insert the Extractor fingers into the flutes of the broken tap, pushing them gently, but firmly, into position. 2. Push the holder down until it touches the broken tap. Slide the sleeve down until it touches the work. 3. Apply a tap wrench to the square end of the holder. Twist forward and backward a few times to loosen, then back out the broken tap. Master sets Available too – just ask

Flex-Hone Surface Finishing Tools are predominantly used for plateau finishing or de-glazing engine bores. Other uses include rust removal, blending in, de-burring. These tools provide those benefits without any real stock removal, are self compensating for wear, extremely easy to use and are virtually unbreakable.
Typically we stock these sizes in 180, 240 and even 400Grit in the larger sizes. Material is Silicon Carbide. Sizes up to 8 inch [203mm] are generally available ex stock.
Note: When ordering advise bore size as these are 10% oversize to allow for side wall pressure in application.
FAQ
- What RPM do I use?
- How do I know what grit size I have?
- Will it remove too much material?
- Why is the tool I got larger than what I ordered?
What RPM do I use? These are just guidelines
The rpm will vary with the size of the tool and will range from 1200-60 RPM.
The smaller the hone, the faster the speed. For a 1" tool around 800 RPM,
3" - 700 RPM. For a 6" tool nearer to 450 RPM and so on.
19" to 36" 60 to 120 RPM
12" to 18" 80 to 350 RPM
8" to 12" 300 to 500 RPM
4" to 8" 400 to 700 RPM
2" to 4" 600 to 800 RPM
1" to 2" 700 to 900 RPM
4mm to 1" 800 to 1200 RPM
How do I know what grit size I have?
The grit is identified by a coloured marking on the tip. i.e.
Red 180grit
Blue 240Grit Yellow 400Grit
Will it remove too much material?
No. The Flex-Hone tool is a surface finishing tool, not a material removal
tool. We are reducing the rough peaks of a surfaces microstructure
and typically remove a small amount of material.
Why is the tool I got larger than what I ordered?
Because the tool needs to be slightly oversized to function properly.
The tools should always be ordered to the true ID/bore
