Cutting fluids and oils

This blog post will discuss cutting fluids and oils. Cutting fluid is a type of coolant and lubricant designed specifically for metalworking processes, such as machining and stamping.

There are various kinds of cutting fluids, which include oils, oil-water emulsions, pastes, gels, aerosols (mists), and air or other gases. Cutting fluids are made from petroleum distillates, animal fats, plant oils, water and air, or other raw ingredients. Depending on context and on which type of cutting fluid is being considered, it may be referred to as cutting fluid, cutting oil, cutting compound, coolant, or lubricant.
