[Evolv reference case]

Thanks that would have been perfect, but I drilled it out and all good now.

I managed to break off one of the screws in mine last night, so trying the alum trick now. Also found a 0-80 tap locally, so hope not to repeat this on any of the other screws.

[QUOTE=ChunkyButt200][QUOTE=VapingBad]I wouldn't advise anyone to do what I did and use the screws to cut the board mount thread, I sheared a stainless steel screw in the aluminium housing and have made on of my enclosures scrap metal.  I tapped M1.6 threads in the 3rd with an HSS tap, I should have done that from the get go.

can you drill out the broken half of the screw from threading, then re-tap?[/QUOTE]
I would need about 1.2 mm drill to be able to use a M1.6 tap after, I only have a Dremel pillar drill and the because the screw is a lot harder than the body and 1.6 mm drill bend easily I don't think I could do it. And there is not enough screw showing to grip.[/QUOTE]

Maybe you can dissolve the broken screw out: https://youtu.be/fqZYgReuywM
