[SEL] makes the work half as easy!

[Ray Freeman Portable Line Boring]

Well they use sulpher in free cutting steels. maybe thats a clue,maybe its 
right off track! I have a recipe for a cutting fluid thats apparently the 
bees knees but I have yet to try it. its made up of 1 part turpentine, 2 
parts white spirits and 3 parts olive oil.
