Neat Cutting Oils | ||
![]() |
Cutting fluids have been used for a long time to lubricate the chip/tool and tool/ work piece contacts, reduce friction (decrease cutting forces and torques), extend tool life, improve surface finish, cool the work piece and the tool, protect the work piece, tool and machine, flush and remove metal chips and prevent chip/tool welding. Neat cutting fluids are usually preferred when excellent lubrication, good rust protection and surface finish are required. | |
