[QUOTE="DMC, post: 79803, member: 430"] I am using high volume water (approx 90%) with a special Vasco 3000 lube, made for cutting Medical Titanium and Aerospace parts. It is the most common set-up I think. Real oil makes metal too slippery and is not a good cutting lube. At some point, we want the tool to not slip and begin to cut. We are also washing away heat at the edge of tool. That's the enemy, no? The stuff I am using is a Vegetable based, micro-emulsion/water mix made by Blaser Swisslube. I am friends with owners of your mills. I know what they do and don't do. Don't know what else to tell ya. I think a misting system would limit feed and cutting in gerenal. It is not the ideal way to cut metal at high RPMs and feeds. We can race one day if you like? Same files from same material. You make strategy and choose your weapons (tools),and I do the same....The winner would be based on cost to produce (ruined tools) and time to complete? At this point, I am keeping the Haas a wet-only mill. Mill Zirconia on something else for now. Trying to get the best of both worlds is hard in a machine. Scott [/QUOTE]
