Tool-X coolant?

Top of the morning!

Does anyone have any experience with Tool-X coolant? Our shop is getting into titanium work and one of our tooling salesman recommended we try tool-x. He claims that some of his customers have had great success with this product. We're currently using Hysol MB50, which has been a great product for us.

Never heard of Tool X (that's not necessarily a bad thing). Who is your tooling salesman? Are they getting a commission to recommend that brand?

If you're shopping around, you could try Metalworking Lubricants out of Pontiac, they send a rep out.

We're currently using Adrem. It's.... ok. Been using it for a few years,and now all of a sudden all of our machines stink like crazy for some reason.

Every coolant type claims great success... never heard of these guys, but then we've probably never heard of 3/4 of the magical coolant brands on there...
With Ti I believe you have to watch that it not be chlorinated coolant or something like that.

Jim, I think I've actually talked to you on the phone. I'm going to warn you that bringing up an old thread to sell product doesn't go down so well here.

The best thing you can do is be available to answer questions and not take an overt sales stance.

FYI, we use your product and like it.

Tool-X was developed to cut titanium for the government application's. Tool-X is an outshoot of a government program called the super lubricant program. the Nano material that is used in tool-x is made from a join venture with the government to give American company an edge in the manufacturing field.
