Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Way Oil? Mobil Vactra #2

Check out this interesting chart, which tabulates
the names of comparable lubes across the manufacturers:

I am going to try Mobil's Vactra #2 way lube
in my Southbend 10L (as a flood coolant), because not
only is it a way lube, but it is recommended by Mobil
and apparently endorsed by several machine companys:
- Cincinnati Milacron (P Series Specifications)
- Okuma
- SKC Gleittechnik GmbH
- Burhard & Weber
- Fadal Engineering Co. / Giddings & Lewis
- Hardinge (Groove Print Stain Test)
- Bijur Oil Filtration (PT 37-1)
- Deckel Maho

to also be used as a flood coolant/cutting lubricant
in larger machine tools!

That way I can get coolant everywhere, and not worry
about stagnant areas rusting (as with some synthetic
water-based coolants).
