Still kind of chicken about running a high speed spindle (a Bosch
router) without coolant. So my question is, do people use coolant at,
say, 10k RPM? 20k? I would say the OD of the spindle nut is 1 inch.

Air only. Maybe a mist..but definately Air only


I bet. At 10,000 rpm, it will be hard to keep the tool wet, even if flooded.
