I have a 8mm taper pin on a Wia Turret lathe that I can not get to come out with a jacking bolt
already broke one trying, Luckily the extractor I had got it out
this AM I have tried 1/2 a tank of Propane to heat the turret to try and relieve it. no luck

I am going to try a whole tank of propane, (freshie) and it that does not work . Maybe I will manufacture a slide hammer?!?!

any suggestions?
I hate to have to drill and re taper ream the hole :redface:
 
Try some Map Gas instead, it burns hotter than propane, and you should be able to buy a small tank at most hardware stores.
 
I just had my face frozen off by a (rather cute) dermatologist with a can of nitrogen. Could you go the other way? (Cool the pin.)
