Changing Cutting Fluid
When you replace the old cutting fluid, take
the time to thoroughly clean out the chip
drawer, catch tray, and chip drawer. Make
sure to dispose of all old fluid according to
local regulations. Cutting fluid is considered
hazardous waste by the EPA. Follow all disposal
and storage guidelines when changing and
disposing of cutting fluid.
Tip: Maintaining the specific gravity of cutting
fluid with a basic hydrometer or economical
refractometer can greatly extend the life of
cutting fluid, to maintain cutting fluid properties
for cutting and reduce operating costs through
longer tool life.
