      Cutting fluids may be referred to as cutting fluid, cutting solution, cutting oil, cutting compound, coolant, or cutting lubricant. Thus the terms are often used interchangeably. However, when being specific machine coolants are special blends of chemical additives, lubricants and water formulated to meet the performance demands of the metalworking industry.
