Lathe Coolant...
Lathe Coolant...
(OP)
we are setting up a new (used) lathe, it's a FEMCO DURGA-25E
We will be using it for production machining of 4130 DOM tubing, using coated carbide tooling.
What coolant would you use and why?
some obvious things that we would prefer
Compatible with the workpiece, tooling, and machine.
Low Hazard, easy to dispose, long lasting
American Made, Operator Safe....
Thanks

I have been doing coolant analysis and management for about 20 years and I can guarantee you that there has never been a coolant made that could not be screwed up through neglect and mismanagement.
