what to use as a cutting fluid for aluminum
I would not use something as easy to ignite as alcohol. Kerosene or WD40 is just fine. But,don't leave WD 40 laying on your lathe
s precision ground parts. Wipe it off. WD40 has been reported to leave a hard scum that is very difficult to remove if left long enough. I haven't experienced this myself,but numerous others have. That is enough to keep me from leaving it on my machinery.
