machining dry cnc coolant water oil

For many machinists its hard to imagine life without flood coolant. For others, its a necessity because their machine may not be set up for flood, or there may be other factors at work. Many sources indicate that coolant related costs are much higher than tooling--2 to 3x as much in fact. In addition, we live in a world that is increasingly concerned with the environmental and health impacts of what we're doing. Disposing of old coolant is problematic for most shops, and breathing in too much coolant mist is a huge potential health risk.
