Most all synthetic coolants I've used in the past either rust the
machine(vaporization?), gum up the micro switches, stain aluminum
(chemical reaction from clamped in steel vise jaws?)

The new Hurco42 is in & being set up. Asked the service man what he
recommends for coolant mainly on titanium, aluminum & ss.

We use some enviro friendly coolant. It's green and almost all water. Fed
by a reverse osmosus system.
It sucks azz.
I was drilling this hole when I first started there, 7/16ths on a
bridgport, hangine on the handle giving it hell. Ran out of oil...then i
grabbed this 5 year old spray bottle I had of cutting fluid, the light brown
nasty shiiiit.
A couple of sprays and that drill fell thru that hole.

Anothern pile of crap we are fed. We are told our oil is more earth
friendly, but it takes 5 times as long to drill a hole, thats 5 times more
oil pourded out into the universe.
I bet it's more environmentally sound to just use the nasty old school
stuff.

Here's a thought:.......

We drive off with 500, 50 foot boats, custom built in 30 days paid for by
BP...on the back of the boats are round skimmers like on our mills. these
boats race out with evenrude 235hp outboards, stop, and crank up the
skimmers using solar cells.
An hour later they come back with 1000 gallons of goop, load it on a tanker
and ship it off to England, then bill bp for the cost.
