Tyler, have you ever considered using oil with your bits? I just keep it oiled and back off when the smoke signals start.

i prefer the smell of WD40 smoke over oil smoke

I just use whatever is handy.

I bought myself a bottle of cutting oil a while ago, works really well and it's saved lots of wear on my bits.

What i found works great is light wieght paintball gun oil. Its costly tho.

Lol I use Mibro cutting fluid/coolant when drilling. The fluid has a low burning point and even a hand hacksaw will make it smoke, Well its not realy like smoke, theres a difference between just vaporizing the fluid and smoking it. Ever open the door on a CNC lathe/mill and see the mist? Kinda like that. Lack of lube didnt kill this bit. I tried to drill threw (Not knowing) hardened steel and killed the bit. Whos hand is messed up Ed? Are you talking about the cut on your hand? I got much worse when working in the machine shop, Whent to pull a razor thin filing stringy thing off the cutting head in the lathe (Bad idea) and sliced right to the bone.

Put some lemon juice on it. It'll help it heal faster.

 

[ed1380]

washing my hands is healing it good enough

I know, Alot of people at school espeicly girls say my hands are rough and beat up lol. I can never keep my hands clean / not dry and cracked. I get alot of cuts but they never realy heel so I just have alot of small cuts and niks all over my hands.
