    This is interesting as I didn't realize that WD 40 has such a wide distribution. It is actually a bit of a surprise that WD 40 works so well for machining aluminum. It is one of those mystery fluids that does so many things but none of them extremely well.

    Katran, perhaps you should take a look at a misting coolant system, it makes less mess than flood and surely you'll be able to push harder (flame2)
