Cutting and Grinding Fluids CG 5418

Cutting and Grinding Fluids CG 5418 is formulated to meet the demands of high performance shops requiring far more than the average screw machine/ cutting oil (especially high speed Swiss style machines). The proprietary additive chemistries used in CG 5418 impart lubricity and machinability characteristics that supersede those found in other cutting oils. CG 5418 has proven itself especially useful in the manufacture of medical implants and those shops wishing to machine difficult metals.

Application Area: Broaching Applications, Drilling Applications, Reaming, Tapping Operations

Product Characteristics

When using CG 5418 for machining, drilling, tapping, reaming, hobbing, gear cutting, and broaching, one can expect the following characteristics:

  • Superior anti-welding/ wetting characteristics, dramatically improving insert, tap, and drill life
  • Increased speed and feed rates, especially with difficult metals
  • Very low foaming, providing more efficient oil and additive delivery to the tool/ part interface
  • Low smoking/ misting, reducing the amount of shop contamination
  • Reduced drag off, therefore reducing the amount of oil carried off with the parts and chips
  • Pleasant smell, no heavy sulfur odors or other unpleasant characteristics
  • Clear amber fluid, improving visibility and in-process inspection
