hello forum, machinists, techies
I'm starting to question coolants and lubrication properties and what not.
is one coolant,compared to another, going to improve tool life and surface finish so much that it becomes interesting from a production point of view? I don't want to have to switch coolants during changeover.
also, our work is so simple. it is just bar work, all rolled stock no castings.
I personally would rather use a water based coolant because of the fact that it seems cleaner. however, a nice light synthetic called Duracool H from Benz Oil might be cleaner than Ph unbalanced water rotting in the tank.
we're going to be cutting everything from brass to stressproof, stainless steel and aluminum and mild steel. lots of tapping threads, screw machine part kinds of stuff.
any suggestions or opinions on coolant/lubrication would be appreciated. I'm arming myself to the teeth with this information before the machine arrives because we have 100 gallons of oily solvent that someone wants to use. NO.
