Have you collected catalogues of all the companies supplying cutting fluids and identified new fluids?

Part of Main Topic: Analysis of Items in Operation Information Sheet

For analysis you need data regarding current practice and standards for better practice. Collecting information on improved and better cutting fluids is an important step in productivity analysis of cutting fluids.

Productivity Analysis Questions

1. Evaluate the cutting fluid of each and every operation for the scope to change it to right cutting fluid that will give more material removal rate.

2. Is minimum quantity lubrication more beneficial?

3. Is coolant through tool more beneficial?
