A recent test installation on a customer's Citizen sliding-head lathe, using vegetable-based oil with a viscosity of 10 mm2/s, proved successful, with installation and performance levels that parallel those of the original water-soluble oil Coolant Saver, says Wogaard.
"The recent introduction of semi-synthetic oils by the leading coolant suppliers, with much lower viscosities, has further widened the potential use of the neat oil Wogaard Coolant Saver," says Jason Hutt, business development director. "We know that customers have accomplished significant cost savings, based on emulsion coolant, with ROI achieved well within 6 months. Imagine the savings that can be realised with neat oil."
