Subject:Off topic: roll pin extraction
From:Steven Johnson
Date:Fri, 5 Jun 2020 13:26:38 -0700

Hi All,

Taking a chance here.  (Friday)  I'm trying to extract a roll pin that has
a diameter of about 1/16th inch.   from a rod that is about 1/2 - 1/3 inch.
I'm having a devil of a time getting it out as it is part of a vertical
blind that
is about 16 feet long.  I'm trying not to take the blinds down.   So I'm
working
at an awkward angle with very little leverage.  I've tried knocking it out
with
no success.  The dremel bits I don't have the umf needed to muscle through
it.   I'll probably got the hardware store for some carbide bits but I
wanted to
run this past the list just in case someone here has any clever ideas...

Thanks,

Steven
