1070 – 12 – Ways to Work with Cutting Fluids

There are a variety of ways to work with cutting fluids. These include:
The Flood Method, which is the most common because it completely covers the tool and workpiece. Or the ring-distributor method, which feeds into a small tube with many holes, directing fluid around the perimeter of the cutting tool. Another way of delivering cutting fluid is the high-pressure method.

Central systems can be appropriate for certain types of semi-chemical cutting fluids because the oil can easily be removed from the fluid as it becomes corrupted by use.
