Cutting oil selection is the process of determining the right product that will provide the appropriate lubrication and cooling balance for the processing conditions. Incorrect selection increases tool wear, reduces surface quality, and raises costs.
How to choose cutting oil?
1. According to the material being processed
- Steel and stainless steel: EP (extreme pressure) additive oils
- Aluminum: Non-staining and low viscosity oils
- Cast iron: Generally cooling-heavy emulsions
2. According to the type of processing
- Turning / milling: General-purpose emulsions
- Drilling / tapping: Oils with high lubrication properties
- Heavy chip removal: Neat or semi-synthetic high-performance oils
3. According to cutting conditions
- High speed: Fluids with high cooling capacity
- Low speed + high pressure: Products with high lubricating properties
4. Oil type selection
- Water-based emulsion: General CNC operations
- Semi-synthetic: Balanced solution
- Synthetic: Clean and high cooling
- Neat cutting oil: Difficult and heavy operations
5. System compatibility
- Must be suitable for filtration, pumps, and nozzles
- Must be resistant to foaming and bacterial growth
6. Surface quality and tolerance requirements
- Products that provide better lubrication are preferred for precision work
