Screw-Machine Oils
Screw-machine oils are cutting fluids that are used in manufacturing to cool and lubricate machining cutting tools. They are typically petroleum based which provides cooling and lubrication for tooling during screw machine operations. Often screw machine oils are enhanced with EP additives to improve finishes, enable the cutting of hard metals, and lengthen tool life.
The characteristics of good cutting oils include the ability to:
- keep the work material at a stable temperature - especially crucial when working to close tolerances
- optimize the service of the cutting tip by lubricating the working edge and reducing tip welding
- provide for the safety of the environment and people using it
- prevent rust on cutters and machine parts
