<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--><?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I broke off an AN507-6R6 screw in a K1100-06 nut plate. Because of the location, I would rather drill out the screw than replace the nut plate. The problem is that my drills aren't doing the job. Does anyone have a recommendation on drills that will cut out the AN507-6R6 screw?

Consider drilling out the nut plate and replacing it with a ClickBond
nutplate. Getting a bunged screw out of a nut plate is a challenge,
especially with a small screw like that. If possible have someone pick
up a demo kit from Click Bond at OSH. Or a packet of adhesive plus a
nutplate or two can be had from the Flight Shop for under $10. BTW,
for most Click Bond nut plates you can use the same one for dimpled or
flat install, there is enough offset in the nut portion for the
countersink.
It would take a very sharp drill bit to get a good clean hole in the
screw with a very good easy out to get that screw to budge. If the
easy out broke, you would be down to changing the nut plate anyway.

I've tried the hardware-store screw removal bits with marginal success, I've found that just using a standard drill bit run in the opposite direction with some solid pressure frequently gets the screw out enough.

It all depends on how new the nut plate is, how tightly wedged the
screw is. Extraction bits only generate so much force before they will
break. The #6 nutplates from Vans take WAY too much torque to install
the screws, and just cause a few problems because of that excessive
drag. I find they work a lot better if I run a tap into them part way,
which then reduces the drag, while still giving plenty of locking
force.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Well, I tried the Craftsman screw removal kit. It wouldn't touch the AN hardware. Soooo, I still need a drill bit or maybe a grinder that will attack the AN507-6R6 screw. Any recommendations? Thank you,

When you finally get the screw drilled out you will not have threads left in the nut plate. I recommend replacing it.
