Done it with a dremel, then drilled and re-tapped the hole. | |

Is the drill bit tight in the hole? I had a similar problem, hit the bolt a few times with a hammer then pulled the remaining part of the drillbit with a strong magnet. | |

I'd try a widia tipped drill if there's no way of removing it. Where's the bolt located? | |

Always a sod when this happens where is the bolt located, drilling into a broken drill bit will be a pain been there done that no easy answer you will have to try other ways to remove it can you heat it up and get grips on it. | |

Is the bolt inset? Will monkey pliers not help you twist it out? What we do sometimes is get a mini hacksaw and cut a straight side into it, so you can get a flat head screwdriver on it and twist it out. Alternatively, spur point drill bit? | |

Was drilling out a bolt, started with a 2mm drill bit. Was most of the way through and then stupidly something made me jump :mad: and the bit snapped in the hole. |
