Cutting & Tapping Oil – Metal Cutting Lubricant & Coolant

Deskripsi

What Is Cutting & Tapping Oil?

Cutting & Tapping Oil is a premium metal machining lubricant and coolant specially formulated for metal cutting, tapping, boring, and drilling processes. Designed for professional workshop and industrial machining environments, Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil reduces heat, minimizes friction, and ensures consistently smooth, precise, and clean results on every cut, thread, and bore.

Whether you’re operating a lathe, milling machine, drill press, or hand tapping tools, using the right cutting and tapping oil makes a measurable difference — in finish quality, dimensional accuracy, tool life, and overall machining efficiency.

How Cutting & Tapping Oil Works

During any metal machining process, the contact between cutting tool and workpiece generates intense heat and friction. Without proper lubrication and cooling, this heat buildup causes tool wear, surface irregularities, dimensional inaccuracies, and in severe cases, premature tool failure or workpiece damage.

Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil works through two simultaneous mechanisms:

1. Lubrication: Forms a thin lubricating film between the cutting edge and the metal surface, dramatically reducing friction and preventing metal-to-metal contact at the cutting zone.
2. Cooling: Absorbs and dissipates heat generated at the cutting point, keeping both the tool and the workpiece within safe operating temperatures throughout the machining process.

The result is a smoother chip evacuation, reduced built-up edge (BUE) on tool surfaces, and consistently precise cuts that meet tight dimensional tolerances.

Key Features & Benefits of Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil

• Superior Heat Reduction: Effectively absorbs and dissipates heat at the cutting zone, preventing thermal damage to both tool and workpiece during intensive machining operations.
• Friction & Wear Reduction: The advanced lubricant formula reduces cutting resistance and tool wear — allowing tools to cut cleaner, last longer, and maintain sharper edges through extended production runs.
• Smoother, More Precise Finish: By eliminating friction-induced surface irregularities, Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil produces cleaner cut surfaces, sharper thread profiles, and more accurate bore diameters that meet strict engineering tolerances.
• Extended Tool Life: Reduced heat and friction means significantly less wear on drill bits, taps, end mills, and turning inserts — directly lowering tooling costs and replacement frequency.
• Versatile Metal Compatibility: Formulated to perform across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, and cast iron.
• Prevents Chip Welding & BUE: Effective lubrication prevents chips from welding to the cutting edge (built-up edge), which is one of the leading causes of poor surface finish and premature tool failure in tapping and threading operations.
• Clean & Controlled Application: The oil’s optimized viscosity allows precise, controlled application directly to the cutting zone — by brush, dropper, or drip feed — ensuring effective coverage without excessive waste or mess.

Applications & Compatible Machining Processes

Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil is engineered to perform across all major metal machining processes:

• ⚙️ Cutting (Metal Cutting): Reduces heat and friction on bandsaw, circular saw, and turning operations for clean, accurate cuts.
• 🔩 Tapping (Thread Cutting): Essential for producing clean, accurate internal threads — prevents tap breakage and ensures smooth thread profiles in both through-holes and blind holes.
• 🔄 Boring & Drilling: Keeps drill bits and boring bars cool during deep-hole drilling and boring operations, preventing overheating and improving hole roundness and surface finish.
• 🏭 Milling: Applied to end mills and face mills to reduce cutting temperature and improve surface finish on milled components.
• 🔧 Lathe Turning: Used on turning inserts and tools to maintain consistent chip formation and achieve superior surface roughness (Ra) values.
• 🏗️ Manufacturing & Workshop: Ideal for general-purpose use in production workshops, fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and engineering facilities.

Compatible Metal Types

Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil is suitable for use on a broad range of metals:

• Carbon steel and alloy steel
• Stainless steel (304, 316, duplex grades)
• Aluminium and aluminium alloys
• Copper and copper alloys
• Brass and bronze
• Cast iron
• Mild steel and structural steel

How to Use Cutting & Tapping Oil

1. Select the Right Amount: Apply a sufficient quantity of Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil to the cutting zone before and during the machining process. Do not over-apply — a consistent, controlled film is more effective than flooding.
2. Application Method: Apply directly using a brush, dropper bottle, drip feed system, or by hand-dipping the tap or drill bit before each operation.
3. During Tapping: Apply oil to the tap before entry and re-apply periodically during the tapping cycle — especially for deep holes or hard materials.
4. During Drilling & Boring: Apply to the drill flutes at the start of the operation and periodically during deep-hole drilling to maintain cooling and chip evacuation.
5. After Use: Wipe excess oil from the workpiece and tools after machining. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.

Why Choose Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil?

In any metal machining operation, the quality of your cutting lubricant directly impacts the quality of your output. Inferior cutting oils leave poor surface finishes, break down under heat, and fail to protect your tools — costing you more in scrapped parts and replacement tooling than you save on the product itself.

Prolix Cutting & Tapping Oil is engineered to meet the demands of professional machinists and industrial production environments. Its advanced lubricant and coolant formula delivers reliable, consistent performance across all metals and all machining processes — from single-piece workshop jobs to continuous high-volume production runs.

With Prolix, you get cleaner cuts, longer-lasting tools, better thread quality, and more accurate bores — every time. That’s the Prolix standard: professional-grade performance that protects your tools, your workpiece, and your production output.
