Fine cast iron dust/crumbs + liquid = an abrasive lapping paste that I don't want running through my coolant pump. Then after it dries on the splash pan it turns into a solid mound of rust that has to be chiseled off like concrete. Cutting it dry and using a shop vac saves me a lot of grief on clean-up.

I have screens and magnets on the sump to catch ferrous 'chips' but they don't work well with a slurry of cast iron 'powder' and coolant.
