May I thank all on here who regularly suggest the use of an angle
grinder for every conceivable problem and a few inconceivable ones too.

I had a broken rack bolt in a wooden window, why do these things always
fail locked?
After a fruitless poke around with a screwdriver I began to wonder what
the advice on here would be.
I'm sure that "use an angle grinder" would have been high on the list.
Any way there was a slight gap between the window and the frame that I
could see the bolt through. I removed the guard from, fool I know, and
fitted a very thin disc to my angle grinder. Shortly afterwards the
bolt was cut in two and the window opened.

So thanks to all of you.

Should have used car body filler :-)

Screwfix, the extra-thins for stainless steel are great on door bolts.
