In the metalworking industry, precision, tool life, and surface finish quality all depend on the correct use of lubricants, oils, greases, and fluids. Cutting, grinding, forming, and machining processes generate extreme heat and friction, which can quickly damage tools and compromise component accuracy if not properly managed. Using the right metalworking fluids helps to cool, lubricate, and protect both the workpiece and the machinery, ensuring smoother operations, cleaner finishes, and extended tool life. The correct lubrication also helps reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and maintain a cleaner, safer working environment.
