The Spindle must be modified to allow the fluid pressure to escape. Carefully drill 1/8 "holes in the centre spindle shaft. Allow room between each hole to keep the spindle shaft strong, but put in as many holes as you can easily fit. I used 25 holes (3 high x 8 around, plus one at the top). You will have to clean up the inside of the spindle of shavings, and smooth off the spindle shaft of burrs.
An outlet on the bottom of the CD Spindle is optional and especially recommended for water-powered runs. (see 2nd picture)
