What is the recomended coolant to use while drilling holes in cast iron. I havn't ever had to drill any cast but have been warned not to use cutting oil. So what should I use? I'm thinking drill press and hand held squirt bottle. Thanks! Dan

What kind of drill are you using, how big? KOOLMIST isn't too bad for using in a squirt bottle. And it's not too expensive, AW32 is ok too if you really want oil and you can get that to come through a squeeze bottle. Jim
