                The reason is that the graphite in the cast iron acts as a lubricant itself.

                Preferably run dry, without cutting fluid, to minimize problems with thermal cracks.

                Work piece itself acts as cutting fluid.

                Cast iron has graphite and it works like a cutting fluid.
