That means the inserts can be run fine with or without coolant. I generally run steels dry, letting the hot blue chips carry away the heat. The roughing ships should be big and heavy enough to just drop, though a few may hit the chuck and fly.
Which DSLR do you have? I've got an older Nikon D200 that doesn't take videos, and was thinking of upgrading to one that does. The Nikon D600 has my eye!
I think I'll run dry. Less smoke that way since my shop is in the basement I don't want to risk setting off the smoke detector.
I've got three Canon cameras that will take videos besides stills. The Canon G12 is considered a bridge camera because it's looks like a point and shoot but has a lot of features of a DSLR but you can't swap out lenses. I use that one to take most of my shop related pictures. My Canon T2i was my first DSLR and was one of the higher end consumer DSLRs that Canon sold at the time I bought it. I also have a Canon 7D which is Canon's top of the line crop sensor camera.
I don't know much about Nikon cameras but the D600 looks like a decent camera just looking at the specs. It's a full frame sensor camera while my Canon cameras are crop sensor cameras. You really can't go wrong with either a Nikon or a Canon. The Canon has a slight edge in that there are a lot more lenses available for the them than the Nikons and they are generally a bit cheaper to.
