What is the Removal Tool/Drill used for?
The Crownserts removal tool / removal drill is used during insert replacement when an installed Crownsert has to be removed from the parent material. It helps remove the remaining knurled section of the insert after the insert has been drilled to the specified removal depth.
This makes it possible to take out the old insert in a controlled way, prepare the hole again, and install a replacement Crownsert without unnecessarily damaging the surrounding lightweight material.
Crownserts Removal Tool – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the removal drill the same as the step drill?
No. The step drill is used during hole preparation before installation. The removal drill is used during insert replacement to drill the installed insert to the specified removal depth.
Do I need a specific removal tool for each insert?
Yes. The correct removal tool depends on the compatible Crownsert part number. Always check the recommended tooling data before removing an installed insert.
Why is removal drill depth important?
The removal drill depth controls how far the insert is drilled during removal. Drilling to the correct depth helps remove the locked section while reducing the risk of damaging the parent material.
Can the hole be reused after removal?
In many repair situations, the hole can be prepared for a replacement Crownsert after the old insert has been removed. The condition of the parent material and thread should always be checked before reinstalling.
