OIL/COOLANT

Roc Cut

Roc Cut from Diamond Pacific is a new synthetic water soluble cutting additive with rust inhibitors. Mix 30 to 1 (water to

Roc Cut).

Never run a diamond blade dry as this can immediately damage your blade. Use one of the oils/coolants recommended

below. Coolant should be kept clean and below 100° F. Sludge should be removed periodically and replaced with fresh

coolant so that your cuts will be clean and your blades will not be damaged.

Non-hazmat replacement oil for electrical transformer cooling. Excellent lubricating properties for blades and saw parts.

Flushes sludge from rock easily, degreases easily, and sludge settles in saw tank well. In Southern California, Shell Diala

Ax can be purchased from Dion and Sons, Inc (www.dionandsons.com).

Food grade mineral oil. Non-hazardous lubricating oil for bakeries, breweries and food processing machinery. Good lubri-

cating properties, degreases and settles sludge well. Can go rancid over time (1 year or less).

Food grade mineral oil, excellent for slab sawing in all our slab saws.

Pure petroleum based machining cutting oil. Good for slab sawing but very strong odor. Often the cheapest priced oil

available but odor is tough to eliminate.

Ethylene glycol based automotive antifreeze and its vapors are considered hazardous and toxic. Propylene glycol based

antifreeze is nontoxic but has practically no lubricating properties; it functions as a coolant only and its use will lead to

rapid blade wear and dulling.

Does not have adequate lubricating proprieties for our saws; vapors are considered hazardous and toxic.

A good coolant but has no lubricating properties and causes rust and degradation of exposed iron and steel parts. Causes

rapid blade dulling and premature wear. Use of water voids the warranty on all Barranca Diamond saws.

Water soluable synthetic coolants (i.e. Valenite or Cimtool) are often mixed in a 20:1 blend with water. Fluid vapors are

considered hazardous. These fluids do not have adequate lubricating or rust inhibiting properties for the cast iron and

steel parts in our slab and trim saws.

Very flammable with a low flash point. At least 3 of our commercial cutting customers in Arizona and Pacific Northwest

have burned down their shops using these fluids. Can be very tough to degrease the residue and aroma out of the cut

slabs. These fluids are cheap, but very hazardous to use. Diesel is a benzene compound which is carcinogenic. All these

fluids can cause severe skin rashes and other ailments.

cally only in 55 gallon drums. Same properties and performance as Shell Amber Neutral 100.

Hyvolt II

A chlorine-free cutting oil with reduced sulfur and fat content. Light in color and low in odor.

Roc-Oil

Roc-Oil from Diamond Pacific is an oil coolant for heavy duty cutting. Provides excellent blade protection and will not

cause rust to your blade or saw.

Under NO circumstances should any of the following fluids be used in any of our lapidary saws:
