What kind of cutting fluid do you recommend for flood cooling? I want something that won't rust my machine and doesn't grow bacteria and stink. After a search on this I saw that some people recommended Valcool. However, it looks like Enco has discontinued this product for some reason. Anyone know why? What other coolants are good?  |

| We use Blaser Swisscut 4000 strong. It doesn't rust, as long as you mixed it to the correct specs. |

| I've been using Hangsterfer S-500 for several months on a very intermittent basis. There's been some very slight staining but virtually no odor or bacterial growth. Mike |
