Nope, no threads in there at all. The hole is small and of the small taps I had, the 3-48 tap was the only one that fitted without being loose. One of the problems was that it kept turning in the bore. I managed to pin it by applying pressure on the quill stop screw and then I went a little harder tapping in the e-z-out than i did when I tried it last time. I could have done with a third hand.
Once I was able to give the e-z-out a little twist without the ball lever turning,it wasn't too difficult to coax it out. Just had to go slow and not pull too hard.
It is bent and will need replacing but I wonder if the smaller hole gives it more strength? I have read that these commonly snap in two in Bridgeport's.
