Do I need coolant on a "shop use" lathe?
Is the mist good enough for parting off? I find that drip doesn't do
it, and so always go to full flood (using soluble oil).

for cutoof i use coolant from the saw in a squirt bottle. may use half
bottle on one cut. The saw's coolant is EXTRA rich in oil. It is the
drainage from all the lathes and mills, reused again and again. The
water evaporates so it gets real rich.
