Damn. Tough break Mike. Glad Mike and Johnny were so helpful.
I broke the bolt for my TB one time. I thought it said ft-lbs but it was actually INCH-lbs! Nuts. Sheered the head right off.

If you can't get everything back in shape, I'd be happy to take it into work and throw it on the manual mill. If all ya need is a tap, let me know and I'll lend you one.
