What do you guys use for cutting fluid/coolant when using stuff like holesaws, large drill bits, annular cutters, etc...?
I've been using Dish Soap & Water, which works EXCEPTIONALLY well.. Using it I can keep holesaws sharp forever even after drilling hole after hole in 1/2" thick steel.... The cost is great too :laughing:
BUT, the biggest problem is rush...if I dont spend 1/2 the night wiping everything down with WD40 after I'm done I'll end up with rusty tables, tools, etc..
Been thinking it might be worth it to get a gallon of professional quality coolant and not worry about rust anymore....when I started researching I quickly found out theres more selection of coolants then there are beers in some gas stations...
