What is the best way to plug the coolant holes on this style holder? I have tried bearing balls but they are not as sealed off as I'd like. Any other ideas?

Tap the thru holes and use a bolt and pipe tape?
Captain obvious alert (maybe), but can't you just spin the balls so the coolant drilled hole is not lined up? We used to do it that way.

Exactly. We have some holders with the ball nozzle that come drilled and tapped for a plug from the manufacturer.
If that is an Okuma, which it looks to be, they make coolant plugs. They usually come with the machine.

I think you can take out that flush head screw, remove the ball, and put the flush head screw where the ball was.This is a Mori Sieki NL3000. And no coolant plugs came with the machine, bought used.
