We use Blaser Swisslube, Blaser 2000. We machine mostly non ferrous materials, 2024, 6061, coppers, brasses, plastics. We use a Sanborn Technologies SOS-5 coalescer to remove tramp oil and Blaser's Minimix to mix the coolant, it provides a more stable emulsion. Probably the most important tool is a refractometer. We seldom dispose of any coolant, only top of and adjust the concentration.

I'm looking for something that works well for a variety of metals and machining applications, doesn't turn rancid or start to really smell after only a month or two, has good lubricity, doesn't need a lot of special additives to keep it healthy, and doesn't cost a fortune. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
