    Coolant color

    Why coolant in my lathe turned pink color.

    Should I be worried?

    Did someone use Dykem to troubleshoot a part? I have noticed that if its not given a chance to dry all the way, or if a lot is used at once. It tends to dye the coolant.

    What material are you cutting? Brass tends to turn my coolant a light shade of blue for whatever reason.
