Default Cleanup after tapping AL


"Bill Schwab" wrote in message
...
Hello all,

I just finished tapping holes in my latest "production run" of five plates
(stop laughingg). What is the most effective way to clear the slurry of
oil (which I have been using as a cutting fluid[*]) and Aluminum chips
that is dripping from the holes?

[*] haven't broken any taps in a long time, and the threads seem to work.

Thanks!

Bill


Blow them off and put them in the dishwasher...the lazy solution!
