Rob -

If you want to machine stainless or other tough materials useing the right
tooling is only half of the total solution.

You must use cutting fluid. There are a variety of high tech cutting fluids
on the market. You should find them at any machine tool supplier (yellow
pages). I use a product called TAP Magic. There is one for everything BUT
aluminum, and another one for ONLY aluminum.

Don't get the "BUT aluminum" product on aluminum parts. It attacks
aluminum.

You will be amazed at how well this stuff works. Tooling life is greatly
increased and it speeds the cutting process.
