    Thanks for everyone's input. I am a little wigged out by caustic acid so will try the slow rpm milling into steel and see what that does. Thanks

    Sounds like the caustic is a better idea....

    I've pulled big chunks out with needle nose many times and thinner stuff I usually run into steel like already mentioned. Works well and only takes a minute to load the steel
