I am in the process of getting set up with a new lathe (13x40 Kent) and the tools necessary to re-barrel and accurize bolt actions (primarily rem700). I have two questions along the same lines: Can the coolant pump system that is currently on my lathe be used for a "through the Barrel" flush system? and, I was told by a VERY REPUTABLE reamer manufacturer to try Automatic Transmission fluid for coolant/cutting fluid while chamber reaming. If ATF can be used for reaming, can/would it be okay to use it for other cutting operations? Is ATF too thick to properly flow through the system? The idea sounds great; cheap, disposable, easily available, but I would like to here the opinions of those that are "in the know" because at this point I'm still learning and while I can't think of any problems, I would rather not learn the hard way.
Thanks
Robert
