[AT] Solvent

[Rob Wilson]

That's funny because I also used to set up and run screw 
machines, Acme-Gridley (sp) sorry it's been 20 years ago).
We also used to put a little cutting oil in our stoddard
solvent when we changed it. I would keep your hands from
drying out so fast when using it to clean the oil off 
when setting up or during dimension checks during a production
run. Man I hated it this time of year with no AC and 
the machines just a few feet apart and running hotter
than Hades.

During my years as an automatic screw machine operator  we commonly used

either kerosene or dry cleaning solvent to wash our hands, produced
parts, 
machine parts,etc.  Just as you are suggesting, when the cleaner was 
changed, I usually added a small dose of 60  or 100 second mineral oil
to it 
to reduce hand drying.  Looks like many people picked up on that little 
trick.
