I was thinking along those lines as I hit send before. But to do it right, I need to attach it to the head so it can blow on the tip of the mill. My attempts to do that haven't been 100% workable in the past, catching on fixture clamps etc. Piece of capillary tube from a junk AC seems like it could work for the last 4 inches or so. I think I have some, but I'd need to morph into a rat terrier to find it. It seems my midden heap just keeps growing. ;-)
