Cutting Oil

How they're used: Cutting oil provides lubrication and cooling, removes chips from the work area, and, if chosen carefully, can prevent rust and enhance the surface properties of the workpiece, and reduce the facility’s waste treatment burden.

Milling, drilling, boring and other simple, high-speed machine operations can usually be performed with lower viscosity cutting oils with standard additive packages. Elite operations such as broaching are performed at slower speeds and require higher viscosity cutting oils that contain Extreme Performance (“EP”) additives.

The machinery you operate should also influence your choice of cutting oils. Machines with seals made from special materials, and machines with substantial cross contamination between cutting oil and lubricant are two examples.

For other factors that can help your cutting oils perform at their peak, email an Acculube cutting oil specialist.
