yes we are not ...i at that point load them up on the mill center up on the hole use a soild carbide ball mill and hope you ez out is not as hard as my ball mill i most of the time do not have to use a heil a coil less they are Fu#k up bad seams the drill alway finds the the head and not the bolt they drill so then they will need coils best thing to do is not mess with them last one i did someone stop buy with a busted off crank bolt in a short block and ez out to i did get the hole mess
