wapiti25 said:I worked in a machine shop where WD-40 was used during maching of aluminum. You should see the build-up on the machine, you removed it with a putty knife. when the roof leaked the coated machines rusted. I will not use WD-40 for anything. I like BreakFree CLP, Rem Oil, Kroil.
WD-40 is not meant to be used as a cutting fluid in the first case, have you ever seen some one use wd-40 while actually turning aluminum, the stuff evaporates so fast the whole shop will fill with smoke...I will post a video if you need to see it for your self In fact any oil you use during a machining process will leave some kind of residue. Thats like saying that one kind of gasoline v. another wears your car tires out more then the other. Also WD-40 is what we use to clean our machines with and after 15 yrs there is no residue other then shop dust. Any one who actually uses WD-40 on a regular basis will agree to this.
