My friend [a fellow dumpster diver] gave me two cans of Met-Kool a chemically formulated machining oil. I'm making a part on the lathe and the aerosol can gets sucked under the leadscrew ,rips off the cap and when the slot of the leadscrew comes around rips the can open and starts to shower me with oil. I saved most of it in a can but my laundry is going to be very oily. Now I have to find the cap because I have one more can of the stuff. It was real foamy and went everywhere. I thought my tooling broke when the cap went flying. I think the leadscrew is more dangerous than the chuck.
