VR Cutting diamond - red wax type stuff sticking to LHS ??

[David34]

Hey trolls!!

Recently I’ve been getting a red wax type stuff on my cutting needle? (Souri anti-static liquid????)

This forms while I’m cutting? And clings to the LHS (looking from front)

I have stylus heat on 15, and have tried with no stylus heat.

My disc is 46c
45 rpm
Black discs

I have not yet tried without souris anti static, I’m not sure what to use in place??

Thanks for the help gurus..

Show us a photo, and yes for sure you can try without the antistatic liquid of Souri.

Really hard to get a photo as it’s microscopic !!

It’s defiantly red though..

What’s a substitute? I’m wondering if it’s a bad batch of anti-static?

This stuff is a decent alternative:

I've been using it for over a year now with very few static related swarf issues.

Thanks so much! I will try these!

I use my own brew of biological laundry detergent with plain water. No swarf whatsoever.
