Cutting fluids come in many, many different flavors, as well as methods of application. Misting fluids is more problematic than fluid cooling, for example. Plain vegetable oil would likely be problematic as a cutting fluid, as it could get very gummy.
I use a vegetable based cutting fluid from Oemeta, and even with that high performance commercial product I have problems with stuff getting sticky when it sits a while. They have a compatible waylube, which is where I have the problem with stickiness after a few weeks of disuse of the CNC lathe. -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: Nicklas SB Karlsson [nk@nksb.online] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 12:10 PM To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-users] Cutting fluid CAUTION: This email originated from outside the Walla Walla University email system. I learned cutting fluid could be unhealthy. Anyone here have any experience? First thing I think about is ordinary cooking oil. It might not have the best performance but as it is more or less just a little bit of hobby machining unless to bad this is not very important, it is more important there is no health problems.
