Just check this post ,LOL , and as far as kerosene  goes , now days we have better stuff .
But years ago , well , many years ago  , we did use kerosene for machining alum on the big planner , and theres no speed involved on a planner . It was driven with a flat belt. We just brushed it on , But never used it on a mill. And , it worked great.

As far as milling alum , FLOOD.

As far as paste for band sawing aluminum , I always use parrifin wax , the same stuff they use for canning.
Works for me.   :D

General Mach Discussion / Re: What is a "MODERATOR"?
« on: January 15, 2010, 02:37:59 AM »
"A Moderator is a person given special powers to enforce the rules on an Internet forum or newsgroup" , and this doesnt mean he has to be the top machinest in the land. This forum has members from all trades , wanting answers to machining questions, mainly to do with cnc , for their hobby shop or whatever . This forum has some of the best machinest from around the world , and they can answer just about any questions asked . So it's not up to the moderators to answer , but anyone who knows the answer and is willing to help. It's not only machinest , but electricians along with engineers. If you can answer, or help someone out , then pipe right up.
Thats what a forums all about.
