What is the word for when you are turning steel and you pour liquid on it,
presumably to stop the tool over heating?

You may start to see a number of these posts!(:-(

Very droll, I do hope you respond to all my posts, so I can put you in my

I'm told lard is very good for finishing steel.

And there was me stupidly thinking that the subscribers to this group have a
little common sense!

Aren't I the silly one?

Alan, a sense of humour is a great advantage participating in this
group, which is a great source of good information. Traditionally lard
oil was used extensively as a cutting coolant, see:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lard+oil

Don't be put off by the dry sense of humour many of the more frequent
visitors here have develpoed !

Or cutting lubricant. Either way, that is what you pour, but I think he
wants a verb. What comes to mind is "apply". On the other hand "cool" or
"lubricate" just don't seem, oddly perhaps, to be words people tend to
<apply> to the activity in question.

It is either used or not used. Somehow I get the idea that someone is composing
rather than machining.

Thank you, that is the word I was looking for, and I did note someone else
came up with the same word.

The reference to using lard for finishing steel was the advice of my
father, who is 84, he is NOT a subscriber to this group. And yes, if
you are pouring liquid onto a turning operation he would say you were
the silly one (and so would I). I think you might get quite wet !

AFAIK there is no verb to describe the act of pouring liquid onto a
turning operation. You can apply coolant, or cutting fluids, or
lubricant, or mixtures of these by brush, by drip, or by pump.

Rancid lard is still good for aluminium! It works even when fresh from the
grocery store. Cheap too!

I don't know of anything in general use as in engineering there are
many regional phrases for operations but in my apprenticeship the
coolant flow was described as "drip", "stream" or "flood". At work I
can't remember anything other than "flood with coolant" being used
although on a couple of courses "ooop north" the term "douse with
coolant" was used. We did use a brush at times but only when no one
was looking!

In this particular case, probably The Amateur's Lathe by Lawrence H.

An earlier post suggesting "to baste" I thought quite excellent - "just off
to baste some EN8 love"

I'll try it later tonight and let you know how it works out :-)

Or as my new wife said to my mother "no he didn't tell me he should wear a
boiler suit"
