    I read through a lot of the comments, and I didnโ€™t see this anywhereโ€ฆ We usually just use a dab of WD-40 on the carbide tips and they donโ€™t load up. If they do load up put more WD on it kept going and the pieces fly off.

    Hey man, how do I learn all this material science stuff? Do I need to go to schools for this or is there like a good book

    so true – we tend to use the tool at hand.

    – The Truth is often in the Tooth loading – too much gum breaker and you break a tooth, too little and the inevitable – candy stuck to the gum extensions happens – Dentists hate cleaning that stuff (their hygienists love it)

    I learned something today…….It's more fun to watch someone else pick aluminum from a cutter.

    We used to use kerosene for coolant while running aluminum. Keep the machine coolant shut off and just use a squirt bottle during the run.
