Hi all,
I have a guy in the shop(the supervisor of grinding) claim that adding coolant to the grinding operation(s) does nothing for improved quality of finish or wheel life. We do a fair amount of OD grinding as well as surface and thread grinding. Additionally, he said that a "rust inhibitor" would be just as good. I disagree.
I claim that adding coolants improves both wheel lif AND finish quality on parts. Am I off base????
What are some of your opinions and why?? Some of the "technical" info on the subject is rather "wordy" and I grow impatiant reading the "technical jargon". I would like REAL WORKIN' folks opinions on the matter in "shop speak"
Thanks in advance everyone.
