I know this is probably one of those Coke vs. Pepsi things where some people have preferences, but when should you be using flood coolant vs. mist coolant? I have an old Boss 5 which does not do a good job of recovering/containing coolant so Mist is obviously cleaner, but flood is probably better? When do you need flood coolant? It seems Aluminum would prefer flood as it probably need lubrication more than cooling?

I'm sure you've already figured out that I'm a hobby user and not "Real" machinist.

Thanks!
