Default HF 34706 lathe

No "misinformation" given, merely a difference of opinion. Water,
carelessly used in the vicinity of iron/steel _will_ cause rust. Further,
water held in the vicinity of dust-producing areas will collect it as surely
as oil in the same vicinity.

Regardless your oft-repeated resume, there are other ways of removing steel
from a tool, and none are intrinsically "superior."

I've seen twice now, this comment about Tormeks causing rust and a mess.
Neither you, nor Andrew who started this silliness appear to have ever
owned a Tormek. I have, and I've never had any problem with rust, nor
mess. Frankly, I find a dry grinder spewing abrasive particles and metal
dust in the air to generate far more mess than a Tormek.



I'm not interested in trying to convert anyone to any particular system,
but I do feel a need to correct misinformation.
