"a water based additive for fluids that permit cooling,
lubrication and prevents corrosion of ferrous metals"
Just a clarification I'd like to know, does the "for fluids" mean any fluid, like hexane, just polar solvents like water and alcohols, does it contain a surfactant that makes it miscible a

Dear Adam,
Seems that new technology for grinding and cutting fluids is being
ignored. I ha
Hi Dean and List,
It is crazy using alcohol in a saw that was not designed for it. You need a
very low speed saw (1-300RPM) with the motor isolated from the cutting
reservoir and fumes or else you are asking for a trip to the emergency room.
Alcohol also destroys the rubber seals that protect you
I have tried oil and it works great. The cuts are
smooth, fast and the blades last forever. However, the
oil got imbedded in the meteorite cut surface and
stained them (And possibly weathered them more also)
and it made a huge (And I mean HUGE) mess that took me
three months to completely clean up.
Hi Elton and all,
I am surprised no one who does more cutting than I has responded.
It goes like this:
Oil is fine for irons and even pallasites.
Oil sucks for stones (and mesosiderites) because it discolors them
horribly. (I do know one fine finisher that does use oil, but then
puts
Ok, I know this was covered recently but my archives are gone.
I've been here years but, pretend I haven't and review for me the
technical nuiances.
Why is cutting with transformer oil not desirable for cutting/ windowing
meteorites?
Why do some recommend a carbide blade vs a diamond blade
