While it can be done, by time you have separated the half's, it would not be much more work to pull the rear and go thru it.

Thank you for the information. I have added an air line with a small amount of pressure to items I want to drill so that all of the shavings blow out towards the drill. Is the Ruckstell something I could put two or three pounds of air pressure on through the filler hole and not cause any problems with the other areas of the rear end? It works quite well because if you are careful, you will have nearly no shavings to deal with on the inside once completed and a small magnet seems to take care of the rest. What about a 1/2" plug?


Thank you,


Jeff
