THE DIFFERENT TYPES CUTTING FLUIDS . state the function of the cutting fluids . compare the characteristics of soluble oil/synthetic oils and neat cutting oils . state the method of soluble oil . state the application of soluble oil, synthetic oil and neat cutting oil Cutting Fluids(coolants) Cutting fluids play an important role in reducing the wear of cutting tools. They helps to Carry away the heat generated during cutting operations Flush away the chips from the cutting point Maintain accurate diemensions Produce good quality finish Prevent corrosion Operate machines on a high cutting speed and feed. Cutting fluids of different types are available, but only those commonly used explain. Soluble oil Soluble oil is the most popular variety of cutting fluid. Soluble oils of diffent types are available. This is an emulsified oil, which, when mixed with water, is an excellent cutting fluid.
