I thought this might be a good forum topic. I moved this post over from another forum. Lets keep them real!
I was at a shop in L.A., California... years back, looking at a machine a guy had for sale, He was running two FADAL machines with Moly D for coolant!! He was bragging how well it cut and machined the 304 ss. Yes, I agreed it would, but that it was not a good thing to do, very dangerous...respiratory issues for operator…fire... you know. He laughed and said that he had been doing it for over a year without problems. Three months after I bought the machine from him ( not one of those machines) I read how his whole shop burned to the ground. I talked to the machinery dealer who worked with me on the buy... and he confirmed that that is what happened. One of the FADAL machines burned a drill and caught fire... Everyone got out, but just barely... that’s the story anyway.
