My crew insisted on a premium brand of cutting fluid, but it gummed up our saws and cost us $800 in downtime.

We switched back to our usual stuff after three frustrating days of constant blade cleaning and replacements. Has anyone else had a specific brand turn into a total headache on the job?

Man, that's brutal. We got talked into trying some "high-performance" coolant last year that was supposed to last longer. Total lie. The stuff separated in the tank and left this weird, waxy gunk all over everything. Spent a whole weekend pulling apart lines and scrubbing reservoirs. Never again, back to the cheap blue stuff that just works.

Tell me about it. I once bought the "pro" grade stuff because the bottle looked fancy. My saws looked like they were coated in maple syrup by lunch.
