[QUOTE="sirmorty, post: 269092, member: 1022"] I mill wet. It has it a few drawbacks like Luke mentioned. The switching coolant to water is probably the most inconvenient. I mostly do Zirconia so it's not that big of a deal. If you had to switch all the time between Emax and Zirconia I could see it be a bit of a pain but then you just buy a separate tank for the coolant and hook it up. Cleaning the mill is no big deal. Just a spray and a wipe down. As far as the cleaning the units. Just place then in an Ultrasonic for a few minutes then dry off with a toaster oven for 20 minutes and your good to go. Or use a camel hair brush and some compressed air and give it a good clean. Same as you would if you milled dry. I like how quiet it is. No suction running all the time is actually quite nice. And I don't know but it seems like milling wet should make tools last longer but I can't confirm that claim. If you have any other questions please feel free to pm me. [/QUOTE]
