| Cutting Fluids |
Cutting fluids are various fluids that are used in machining to cool and lubricate the cutting tool. There are various kinds of cutting fluids, which include oils, oil-water emulsions, pastes, gels, and mists. They may be made from petroleum distillates, animal fats, plant oils, or other raw ingredients. Depending on context and on which type of cutting fluid is being considered, it may be referred to as cutting fluid, cutting oil, cutting compound, coolant, or lubricant.
Every kind of machining (e.g., turning, boring, drilling, milling, broaching, grinding, sawing, shaping, planning, reaming, tapping) can potentially benefit from one kind of cutting fluid or another, depending on workpiece material. (Cast iron and brass are usually machined dry. Interrupted cuts such as milling with carbide cutters are usually recommended to be used dry due to damage to the cutters caused by thermoshock.)
The properties that are sought after in a good cutting fluid are the ability to:
- Keep the workpiece at a stable temperature (critical when working to close tolerances).
- Very warm is OK, but extremely hot or alternating hot-and-cold are avoided.
- Maximize the life of the cutting tip by lubricating the working edge and reducing tip welding.
- Ensure safety for the people handling it (toxicity, bacteria, fungi) and for the environment upon disposal.
- Prevent rust on machine parts and cutters.

Best Cut (S) XL35 |
Best Cut (S) XL35 is a general purpose soluble cutting fluid of the Non-EP type. If forms a white emulsion with water. BEST CUT (S) XL35 has superior cooling and lubricating properties which impart excellent surface finish and minimize tool wear. BEST CUT (S) XL35 is based on solvent refined mineral oil and package of emulsifier, corrosion inhibitor, rust inhibitor and suitable biocide to prevent bacterial growth in the emulsion.
Product Application
BEST CUT (S) XL35 is recommended for general purpose metal cutting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The various operations include: Milling, Turning, Drilling, Reaming, Tapping, Screwing & Grinding.
Guidance for Optimum Utilisation
- Always add cutting oil to water and not vice-versa.
- Agitate well for 15 minutes by air or by mechanical means to get homogenous solution.
Remember a good mixing ensures longer coolant life
- Take care to avoid contaminations of cutting oil emulsion with other lubricating oils. Contamination can upset equilibrium leading to breakage of emulsion.
- BEST CUT (S) XL gives a stable emulsion up to 500 PM hardness. If the hardness is more, then soften the water before making the emulsion.

Best Neat Cutting Oils
|
BEST NEAT CUTTING OILS are blended from selected base stocks and specially additives designed to supply a definite degree of lubricity, surface activity stability ,stability and anti-weld properties. The selection of the appropriate grade for application depends on operational severity, cutting fluid activity and cutting speed.
The BEST NEAT CUTTING OILS cover the spectrum from turning to the most severe operation that is internal broaching .Best oils offer full range of oils for your machine shop. The following advantages can be obtained by using the appropriate cutting oil from best oil range.
ADVANTAGES:
- Higher cutting speeds.
- Improved surface finish.
- Longer tool life.
- Reduced fuel consumption.
- Reduced power consumption.
- Removal of swarf from cutting area.
- Increased dimensional. Accuracy.
- Lowered operational cost.
