Machine Cutting Coolant

Machine coolants have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years.

Machine cutting coolant.

In the beginning machine coolants consisted of simple oils applied with brushes to lubricate the machine tool. Always be sure to check your machine manual for the recommended type of coolant as there are so many makers of machines. Coolants for nearly dry machining. Occasionally lard animal fat or whale oil was added to improve the oil s lubricity.

Cutting fluid is a type of coolant and lubricant designed specifically for metalworking processes such as machining and stamping. Apply just a few drops of these coolants to your cutting tools before and during milling and machining to reduce heat with very little cleanup. Also known as straight oils they help reduce friction and trap debris created by lathes drills or mills. Designed for use with misting systems these coolants have excellent cooling properties for intermittent machine cycles when milling and turning.

General purpose cutting oils lubricate cutting tools and workpieces during machining operations. There are various kinds of cutting fluids which include oils oil water emulsions pastes gels aerosols mists and air or other gases cutting fluid are made from petroleum distillates animal fats plant oils water and air or other raw ingredients.
