Drilling the extruder barrel

Having had a lot of fun with the Afghan Lathe - which is still fantastic for machining extruder nozzles out of dome nuts - I've found that using a drill press the wrong way round is a lot easier for central 3mm bores in the extruder. Apologies for the cross-post, but people seem to have found it very useful elsewhere:

I'll still be working on the brass tube extruder, but I'm going to get a few Mendels working first, with technology I know is reliable.
