What kind of cutting fluid, please?
I have a heat treated tube with an approximately 3/16" ID that I want
to ream out to a slightly larger dia. The heat treat is at least 50, so I'll be using a solid carbide chucking reamer. So my question is, what might be an appropriate cutting fluid? TIA Lewis ***** |
