Five common Job Shop
cutting & grinding fluid challenges:

• A Job Shop supplying parts to the bearing industry was using a high oil-soluble cutting and grinding fluid. The individual sumps lasted only two weeks before the smell from the rancid coolant forced the operator to change out and recharge the machine.

• The product left a sticky, heavy film and residue which prevented the operator from viewing the machining operation through the machine tool window.

• Customer was using a traditional soluble oil cutting and grinding fluid within their CNC machines.
• Standard procedure was disposal of the coolant on a bi-weekly basis to improve workspace environment.
• Procedure resulted in excessive costs due to downtime, disposal costs, and coolant purchases.
