hardened steel grub screw . try a reverse drill bit

I'm going to look for a set that will fit , that tiny hole, but I think it's a little late for all that. I've drilled the hell out of it, but still won't let loose. I'll give it a try. Thanks

Ouch!

Yep, had to walk away!

That's gotta be glued in with something. Geez… drilling at it for 2 hrs and still no go? Something is holding it tight.

It could be, but I think Petehall is right, I'm using stainless steel drill bits, trying to drill hardened steel, not getting anywhere in depth because of wrong bit, going to try some carbide bits. The darn set screw is only 3mm in length. When I take bit out and measure depth, I'm not even half way. I'll keep at it, till I get it off, may take awhile. I think I'm a little to far gone to try a left hand drill bit.

Yooo… stainless steel drill bit? May not work very well. Cobalt would be better but hardened steel is hard to drill.

I ordered a set of carbide bits, should be here sat. Has anyone had this much trouble with this, or is it just me. In the mean time I'll go back and double check everything, I've done so far, with the components. I'll list all the bad one's that I found. I want to recap the unit, as an ultimate goal for this amp. I've been extra careful not to enlargen the small set screw hole, while doing this, it's at an 1/8in, just a tad larger than original hole by a 1/32, wanted to make sure I got the hole grub screw out, so I can re tap. Have a great weekend guys,and thanks for hanging in there with me, much appreciated. Maybe we can get back to fixing electronics instead of farting with drilling shit out.

Troubles? Today at work I felt like I was surrounded by pussytouch idiots.
Hope that makes you feel better now.
