€  Agreed.  According to the Ventura County Coroner's Medical Examiner, 
he died from breathing some flourine compound.  According to other 
machine shop employees, he had been turning down a large number of Teflon 
rods at high speed to save time.  
/  Cutting tools run fairly hot when cutting at high speeds.  In college, 
during my Machine Shop final exam, to save precious time, I made a long, 
deep high-speed cut that caused the cutting tool to incandesce for 
several minutes.  This raised a few eyebrows.  The instructor came over 
and explained to the class that such cuts were alright provided that a 
shallow cut followed to smooth things up. .  In the end it payed off 
because I got under the time limit.
