Metal Cutting Coolants

What are Metal Cutting Coolants?

Metal cutting coolants, also known as cutting fluids & Metalworking Fluids, are specialised liquids used in metalworking processes like machining to cool the cutting tool and workpiece, reduce friction, and remove chips from the cutting area, essentially allowing for smoother and more efficient cutting operations while extending tool life; they are typically a mixture of water, oil, and additives designed for specific metal types and machining applications.

Our AW Type Hydraulic Oils –

Soluble Cutting Oils

Explore our premier soluble cutting oils, engineered to deliver outstanding cooling, lubrication, and corrosion protection in machining and metalworking operations. These emulsifiable fluids mix seamlessly with water to form stable emulsions, enabling superior heat dissipation, reduced tool wear, and cleaner surface finish in turning, milling, drilling, sawing and more.

Synthetic Cutting Fluids

These high-performance, oil-free synthetic cutting fluids are designed for modern precision machining. They provide excellent cooling, polymer-based lubrication, corrosion protection, resist bacterial growth, reduce foaming, and maintain stable performance even in hard water conditions.

Semi Synthetic Cutting Fluids

Looking for fluid that cuts heat and keeps your tools sharp? Our Semi-Synthetic Cutting Fluids deliver exactly that. They give you smooth lubrication like oils, cool like synthetics, and protect against rust and bacterial growth—all in one.

Neat Cutting Oils

When your machining demands are high—tight tolerances, hard metals, long runs—you need cutting oils that go to work without cutting corners. Our Neat Cutting Oils deliver heavy lubrication and protection, even when cooling is minimal, making them perfect for gear cutting, tapping, and broaching.

Uses of Metal Cutting Coolants

Cooling: Dissipate heat generated during cutting, preventing overheating of the tool and workpiece.

Lubrication: Create a lubricating film between the cutting tool and the workpiece, reducing friction and wear.

Chip removal: Flush away metal chips from the cutting zone, preventing them from re-cutting or sticking to the tool.

Corrosion protection: Protect the machined surface and cutting tool from rust and corrosion.

Improved surface finish: Contribute to a smoother and more accurate surface finish on the machined part.


Applications of metal cutting coolants

Metal cutting coolants are used in various machining operations to enhance performance and efficiency. Some key applications include:

Turning Operations: Turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create cylindrical shapes. It is widely used in manufacturing shafts, rods, and other round components. Metal cutting coolants help reduce heat buildup, prevent tool wear, and improve the surface finish of the turned parts. Proper coolant selection ensures high precision and longer tool life.

Milling Operations: Milling is a machining process that involves the use of rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece. It is used to produce flat surfaces, slots, and complex shapes. Metal cutting coolants play a crucial role in milling by preventing heat accumulation, reducing tool wear, and improving machining efficiency. They also aid in chip removal and ensure smooth surface finishes.

Drilling Operations: Drilling involves creating cylindrical holes in metal workpieces using a rotating drill bit. The use of metal cutting coolants in drilling operations prevents overheating, enhances tool life, and ensures precision hole-making. Coolants also help in flushing out metal chips, preventing clogging, and reducing friction between the tool and workpiece.

Boring Operations: Boring is a machining process used to enlarge existing holes to precise dimensions and achieve tight tolerances. Metal cutting coolants assist in cooling and lubrication, reducing friction and minimizing tool deflection. They help in maintaining hole accuracy and surface quality, making them essential in high-precision applications like automotive and aerospace industries.

Shaping Operations: Shaping is a machining process where a single-point cutting tool moves in a reciprocating motion to cut away material from a workpiece. It is commonly used to create complex contours, grooves, and keyways on metal parts. The use of metal cutting coolants in shaping operations improves tool performance, reduces thermal distortion, and enhances surface quality.
