When work is surface ground supported by a magnetic chuck even when coolant is used would the flow of coolant dislodge the ferrous particles from the attraction of the magnet?
How is clean up achieved and would coolant be conducive to corrosion under the mag chuck?
I read or was told ( don't remember which) that bi-carbonate of soda, sodium bi-carbonate, baking soda can be used in water as a coolant for grinding. A tutorial document says that you can use an emulsion of oil in water or straight oil, plain water or a soda water solution.
There are positive attributes in the various options not the least of which would be cheapness in the case of water or soda water. Can members advise what choices were made in their working environment?
