I have a flood cooling system for my lathe and I was looking at various water free alternatives. There seems to be no thread about using cooking oil on this forum. I looked on another, but there were only stupid comments.
.
Rapeseed oil (Canola) is cheap, has a high flashpoint and seems to be OK. Vegetable oil based miscible coolants are on the market anyway.
.
Anybody got any useful info on this topic.
.
If you want to do the jokes, look on that other forum, they are all there.

Cheers folks !
