Now you're losing a little credibility here Ray. I run to the limits of my 1100's horsepower all day long in 6061 dry machining. I use air to clear the chips, but that's it. I can send you a pile of chips if you want. :-)
And yes, I used to run flood, and I'm perfectly aware of the pitfalls of both systems. Dry machining doesn't allow for lazy cuts.

What kind of cuts are you talking about? Width, depth, RPM, feed?
