we just bought two screw machines and its out first venture into the area, for more production and potentially lights out turning/milling etc. previous owner was using a blaser lubricant that was bio based. some of my tooling reps are recommending a synthetic oil and one recommended a petroleum based oil.
we mostly turn parts that are 304 ss and mild steel. we do get into some plastics Delrin and nylon primarily, and we do the usual aluminum and brass work as well. we will be keep our coolant running turning centers and these screw machines are added for more capacity, so if its a real benefit not to run a certain material because the oil will be way better for the other materials than we can do that.
thanks
