learned the coolest thing yesterday

hey guys, thought i would share this. ever use bee's wax? a friend of mine showed me. when doing almost anything w/ aluminum put the wax on the tool. for example cutting chunks w/ abrasive chop saw takes forever,but touch the disk with the wax (at first or as you go) and the blade wont load-up and it flies right through! i was drilling some 6" long holes through some 6061 in the lathe and cutting oil wasnt letting the shavings pass through the flutes, but rub a little wax on the bit and holy crap. end mill was the same. long story short you guys have helped me out a bunch and i finally feel i can help you w/ something.
thx mark
