[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 225786, member: 3111"] Kerosene mist mixed with motors which spark and pole on startup and wind down...not a good idea. I highly reccomend using only the correct reccomended coolant for cutters or even vegetable oil. If you have polishing pads on any machines, the kero mist will eat them away in minutes. The gem club was using kero next to the Cabking machine...we had to buy 3 new discs for $300 odd bux to repair the damage. Only use kero if you have no alternative imo Water does make the tools rust so you will need a lubricant to keep it clean yes like an oil [/QUOTE]
