Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Router life, getting better bearings,

Hi Ballendo,
I dont know if there was any previous posts but just a warning note on the
use of Krytox.
Although its an awesome grease I would use gloves or care when applying that
it not get into your skin.
If I'm not mistaken the Florine content in this grease is pretty high and
not to be taken lightly as Florine attacks not skin but Calcium in your
bones and you dont feel it going to work on you either.... :) Oh well, I
guess there are worse ways to go, eh?
