Nice idea.

If you fit an o ring about half way up the shaft the metal can’t go past it so the swarf will drop off. You may need a couple as some particles will jump the o ring.
That worked well for me and I also put a light spring in the tube to pull the plunger back down. Nice build. Cheers Stuart.
