dw, i know what you mean
i've had my share of 'oil-in-the-face' incidents.... always makes me wonder what good it does if it all flies off anyway....
but, all the resources out there recommend using cutting oil.... what do they know that i/we don't? i'm pretty sure they've been cutting comms long before i did, and they must know something i don't....
lately, i've been using a sharpie marker to act as a cut indicator and lubricant..... getting good cuts using it....
i never tried cutting without some sort of lubricant, be it oil or marker.... might try it this afternoon....
thanks everyone, a very helpful thread....
