Cutting oil

A lubricant used in machining operations for lubricating the tool in contact with the workpiece, and to remove heat. The fluid can be petroleum based, water based, or an emulsion of the two. The term "emulsifiable cutting oil" normally indicates a petroleum-based concentrate to which water is added to form an emulsion which is the actual cutting fluid.
