My lead and I butted heads on coolant use for stainless steel

He runs it dry to avoid mess, but I swear by flood cooling for heat control. Who's got the right idea here?

Wait, he's running stainless steel dry? That's a good way to ruin your tool life and work harden the material. You definitely want flood coolant for the heat.

Your lead is throwing money away on inserts. Flood it, the heat from dry cutting wrecks the edge way faster.
