Ah yes I was eyeing up one of those too.. I saw someone mentioned using it with a pump like this..


Do you use something similar?


Is it possible that I might not need lubricant? Would blasting air do what I need perhaps?


To give an idea of what size aluminium.. it's going to be 1.5mm to 3mm I'll be working with. Probably shy away from 1050 & try something like 5251 grade..


Then generally it's going to be cutting things like panels for enclosures.. so holes/ outside cut out.. maybe the odd inside cutout..


So any way I can get away without lubricating do you think? Maybe by using only TiAIN coated bits? That way I could keep the same setup for any wood based stuff..


Or is there a different kind of lubricant that could work in this case perhaps?
