I am getting ready to start replacing both qtr's and I am wondering if there is any good cutting paste someone can recomend that will keep the spot weld bit cool and not drip all over like cutting oil does?

I will most likely be using this bit,

Tap Magic for Aluminum it works great on steel as well. It is very thin and clear it will come out of the can at one drop at a time and seems to burn itself off. I use it all the time works great, a drop or two in your air tools makes them run like they are on staroids as well.

I used all the spot weld bits, found these pilot points work very nice too. http://www.toolup.com/dewalt/DW1969.html

Any lubricant you put on your sheet metal is just one more thing to worry about getting off when it comes time to paint, especially if you happen to use one that contains silicone. Just keep the rpm's low and cutting fluids will not be required.
