Now that's cool Barry.
I had been considering a normal drill at minor diameter if I got the 
flush break.
That would leave me trying to run the undersize tap through to push out 
the stainless.
Now with a left-hand drill I could try smaller and if it didn't come, 
then at minor dia.
(2 chances is better than 1)
