I like it !

I have tiny 1/16 tubing that I can puresurize to 30-60 psi and little
brass fittings so I can jet the fluid into the hole.
gravity drain. and a simple splashguard to let the stuff drain.

Maybe I can bend my electrode upside down to finish this #6 tap and
instead of feeding down, feed up ?

deep tiny holes are a PITA!
