A"quality high speed carbide bit" cant be bought at HF and it still isn't easy work. Left hand drill bits are often the answer to removing a broken off stud, bolt etc. but they too are often sold at a cheaper price and the old saying of you get what you pay for does apply.When its possible and I read earlier heat isn't allowed for this particular problem--My now passed on OLD machinest neighbor taught me that when possible, welding a nut to the broken off object, then turning it out with a wrench or socket works much better than an easy out. Of course your ability to weld, the size of the broken item and where it is located can be challenging.
