Actually what I found works even better than sticing the blow gun nozzle
IN the hole is to blow ACROSS the hole. More directional control of the
crud and it makes a great vacuum in the hole that REALLY sucks the
stuff out without getting you in the face.

If you're brave you can make close to a bottoming tap by grinding the
end off of a regular tap and just taper off the last thread or so. We did
a couple like that for some reason at the machine shope I worked at.
