Turning some 304 SS parts, my Omniturn doesn't really like this stuff.
Maybe don't have the best part off tool for the material, but using what
I got. Parting off at low rpm, high flood coolant flow, and this allows
a lot of coolant to get through the slots in the collet face. Seldom
have this trouble at high rpm...

Fixed it with a couple dabs of oil based modeling clay packed into the
slots. Works perfect, easily removed when done.

Or simply stick a plastic pipe plug in the ass end of the spindle at the
collet closer. I keep a box of them on hand just for this..as I found a
bunch of them and was too lazy to make up an 1.125 plug out of delrin
with an o ring on it.
