[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 595325, member: 25383"] Not knowing the brand you used my first thoughts are that it was from Howghton (sp). It'll do that, but they've also revised their formulas since then. Another issue that many folks run into is that they don't mix their coolants right. If they say five to one, and you go three to one you got problems. The bias is critical. Nothing wrong with cutting oils, but they will not ream as accurately and tool life is shorter. You can get around the tool life problems with TIN coated cutting tools, but when your trying to ream within a few tenths oil won't get it anymore. gary [/QUOTE]
