Stainless steel is often considered difficult to machine. While using the right machinery and tools for the job is most important, choosing the most effective metalworking fluid can help overcome common machining problems.
8 pieces of equipment you should have when using metalworking fluids
Getting the most from your metalworking fluid is all about choosing the correct equipment. Using the right equipment makes it possible for you to enhance the life of your fluid, improve its longevity and prevent problems in the future. So, what equipment should you use?
8 reasons why Q8 Brunel is the next generation of metalworking fluids

Q8 Brunel XF 527 a fully synthetic, high performance, non-cobalt leaching grinding fluid
Q8 Brunel XF 527 is an advanced non-cobalt leaching synthetic grinding fluid developed to give the highest quality finish in all operations. It contains no mineral oil and is free from boron, formaldehyde, nitrite and secondary amine. When diluted with water it forms a true solution rather than an emulsion which gives excellent wheel and work piece visibility. Q8 Brunel XF 527 uses the latest in fully synthetic anti-corrosion additive technologies and has outstanding corrosion protection, suitable for all ferrous metals giving rust and stain free machining.
Why does leaching cobalt matter?
The cobalt that is released into metalworking fluid (MWF) as a result of the shaping and sharpening processes may dissolve and circulate in the fluid or become sediment at the bottom of the filter into which it was released.
Are you working safely with Metalworking Fluids?
Exposure to mists from metalworking fluids forms a potential risk to machine operators. The best way to avoid health problems is installing a risk and fluid management program and selecting safe and healthy products.
Inhalation of the mist generated by neat & soluble metalworking fluids can lead to respiratory diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and EAA (extrinsic allergic alveolitis), also known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Employers must ensure that adequate measures are taken to reduce the level of operator exposure to mist.
