I know this won't keep the chips out, but you may need this one. I get broken off pipe threads out by making a cut in the inside of the pipe with a hacksaw blade or a sawzall blade etc. Cut until you just feel it hit the tips of the cast iron threads. Now take a punch and tap the sides of the broken off piece towards the center. This will usually loosen it enough to allow yo to unscrew it. Sometimes cuts on opposite sides work. the small amount of metal of the broken off piece left in the threads isn't very strong and usually doesn't keep you from colapseing the thing inward. As for the chips, can you plug the hole with a rag? Insert a smaller tube beyond the chips and blow them out with compressed air?
