    Coolant questions

    I have a coolant question regarding V2XT’s. Which do you prefer, a flood of petroleum based cutting oil or a water-soluble coolant. We typically run aluminum and some stainless and Plexiglas parts through our fully enclosed V2XT Bridgeport Mill. Would running oil preserve the machine better than the water based coolant?
    Thanks guys.
