METALWORKING FLUIDS
Diferent Applications Require
Diferent Solutions
Many times, a shop's specifc application will dictate the
proper choice when it comes to matching the perfect lubricant to the job. Whether the operation is Swiss machining,
precision machining, CNC machining or drawing/stamping,
there is a metalworking fuid that is formulated to that
specifc task.
Machining applications for specifc metalworking fuids
include turning, hobbing, drilling, tapping, reaming, milling,
forming, drawing and stamping, to name a few. A good quality
machining lubricant will work for most of these applications.
Specifc applications like honing or grinding require application-specifc cutting oils that should be available from any
quality manufacturer or distributor. As more exotic metals
that combine complex combinations of metal alloys become
available, the metalworking lubricants industry must keep
pace with products designed to work
with these new metals.
Custom Formulas for Custom
Applications
Purchasing lubricants from a "full line"
supplier doesn't mean that manufacturer will necessarily have the ideal
solution for every shop or application.
Some shops may need that standard
formulation "tweaked" for their application to gain the most beneft. Tat's
where partnering with a supplier who
has taken the time to understand the
customer's requirements can pay big
dividends.
