I apply Sulfured cutting oil with a spray bottle.

I try to use the coolant for all steel cutting except hack sawing and

For choosing to fight, one gets the horrors or war, stress, and possibly
death.
For choosing not to fight, one gets subjugation, humiliation, and
possibly death.
Choose your fights carefully.
