Questions & Answers

The how much of each type of material should be mixed in ?

In comparison, a concentration in excess of 8 percent typically provides the highest sump life and tool life. However, the optimal concentration for your operation can only be determined on the ground by assessing the operations in-depth. An evaluation of the site is conducted. *br>On cast iron, 5% is the minimum recommended concentration, and on steel, 4% is the minimum recommended concentration.

Is there a formula for cutting a variety of metals on a bandsaw that would be best?

The TRIM SC520 can apply a variety of materials including iron and non-ferrous A band saw would be the best application for this product.

In what proportion should coolent be added to a gallon of water?

The amount of coolant I use to fill a 3 gal. tank is 12 ounces. I like it a lot.

Does this fluid fit my pump/tank system that will circulate fluid between the work on my metal lathe and the circulating fluid? Are you reaming a barrel (I am)?

Metal band saws are what I use for this. The metal cutting oil I use on my lathe is regular metal cutting oil. There is no number on the 5 gallon bucket that I can recall.

Selected User Reviews For TRIM Cutting & Grinding Fluids SC520/1 General Purpose Semisynthetic Fluid Concentrate, 1 gal Jug

The comments on Concentration & Rust led me to settle on 5 oz per gallon after reviewing some of the commentary

4/5

After running my mill all day, I shut it down in the evening. Upon entering the shop in the morning, I noticed the mill had started to rust. I cleaned that up and then applied Trim to water at a concentration of about 1/3 gallon per 4 gallons. While that seems to work well, there is still a little tendency for rust to form on occasion. Therefore, I am going to use a full half gallon of Trim for four The last thing you want is rust, so that might be a bit heavy. Over the course of a career, I spent about 20 years working in a machine shop. In 1994, that program came to an end. It's not surprising that I have seen quite a bit With Trim we are able to do a nice job and it is more pleasant to work with than what we used before. However, be careful not to lose your concentration! br> br>br>Pbr>.

This was the best solution I found for my home shop needs

5/5

Effective concentrations are available over a wide range. With intermittent application a few weeks in between, the oil stays intact. I was surprised to find out that it has almost no smell, and doesn't harm your skin. It seems to protect the metal, and the mild steel filings I used on my bandsaw haven't rusted at all.

I did not find it to work

3/5

Probably because I do not use my equipment regularly, and since I no longer use water-based coolants, the problem won't be specific to this product. My pumps have all become clogged with waxy build up after they have used them. If you use it every day, it may work well, but if you're a hobbyist, you might let it sit for a week or two before using it again.

This is good stuff

5/5

For my band saw, I use this. I like this product. It's easy to use, flows well, and almost films on the surface without adhering to it. Excellent corrosion inhibitor. The shavings are also efficiently removed from the cut when using this tool. In my case, I run it a little thinner than the manufacturer recommends since I do not have a high volume shop, so waste is not a problem. I highly recommend that you try.

I highly recommend this product

4/5

This has been my default clean up item in Milltronics VMC for about eight months. The scent is very mild and unnoticeable, no bubbler needed. A good corrosion prevention system appears to be available. Wear gloves when handling it for long periods of time. It will irritate your skin.

I like it

4/5

I haven't had much time to work with this coolant, but so far it seems to be working well. It seems to have a good lubricity. Rust doesn't appear to be an issue yet. There might be a problem with residue in the future. A sticky residue remains on the machine after use. One thing needs to be done. Dilute binx 8 by 20. In my estimation, I would need to mix it (one gallon jug) in three machines with five or more gallon sumps. At 1, we have Six more gallons of the mixed 8 binx are at my disposal. As a starting point, I would recommend starting with 1.

It's a done deal for me

Besides being easy to use, lubricious, smelling good, and easy to clean, I really like this product. It has never caused me any problems and I have not encountered any rust.
