Getting chips out of the threaded hole

Post by tornitore45 »

The grands regularly come with a deflate ball to grandpa because he can pump it up, so I have a half a dozen inflating needles. The tread is a standard for pneumatic accessories and it can be mated to a compressed air coupling with a small reducer. Presto you can clean up threaded holes as small as #4.
