I know about the mess, the Bridgeport is dripping in WD at the moment and buried in a pile of chips :) at least it won't rust.

Probably not an issue on the mini-mill but I find the WD smokes a bit when hogging ally on the bridgeport, proves that the cutter is getting hot and that a squirt of WD is not enough, but as i said, that was a 14mm cutter, balls deep, cutting a pocket.

JAZZ, what fluid do you sell (if allowed to mention) and I presume thats the course droplet type of misting system?

Agree with the chip re-cutting, easiest way to bugger a bit is to let the chips pile up in the slot or hole, always when you don't have a spare bit ;)
