Is there such thing as a good lifter?

I'm no machinist, but I would have thought soluable oil would have been more appropriate than wd40 as a cutting lubricant? Walk into a machine shop, and the place stinks of it. (I quite like the smell, it reminds me of freshly machined engine parts)

I'm pretty sure that tool needed to be resharpened when they were done with it. Way to fast with what they were using. WD40 is not a cutting fluid for steel, might as well been pouring water on it. Dark cutting oil for black pipe in the plumbing isle at the HW store would have been a lot better choice and it really should be a flood, not dabbed on every five seconds. Bottom line, if a reamer is smoking, you are doing it wrong.
