High-level performance while machining is contingent on picking the right cutting fluid for the application. To ensure your machine’s longevity and reliable production, it’s crucial to keep up on maintaining your cutting fluid properly.

Metalworking fluids typically account for just 1 to 2 percent of the total cost of the part being manufactured. When not properly cared for, however, the impact can be as much as 95 percent of the overall manufacturing cost of the part. For companies to realize the full potential of their metalworking fluids, a certain amount of maintenance is needed. Proper care of your fluids ensures optimum process efficiency and lowest cost.
