Soluble cutting oils

Abstract

MOST of the heat generated in cutting is caused by the chips breaking away from the stock and it is therefore necessary to maintain the cutting coolant at a constant temperature. Reduced coolant temperature will also prolong tool life. In addition, if temperatures are excessive, oil will be lost in smoke which is both wasteful and objectionable.
