Metalworking Fluids and Machining
Blaser Swisslube uses its technology center in Switzerland to conduct tests that mimic the real-world work its customers perform. Here’s an example of an optimized drilling process.

Advancing Manufacturing, Tomorrow and Today
A drilling solution improves the production of a component that is critical for correcting spinal disorders. Meanwhile, an apprenticeship program ensures that improvements like this one can continue into the future.

Tool-Related Considerations for More Efficient Machining of Titanium
The expert in our Titanium Machining Zone offers advice related to coolants and coatings.

Grinding Oil Improves Surface Quality
Blasogrind HC 5 from Blaser Swisslube is a high-performance grinding oil based on synthetic oil (hydro-racked oil). Applications include precision tool grinding, surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, fine profile grinding and lapping. Materials include steel; hardening and tempering steels; high speed steel; hard alloy; stainless steel; and carbide.

'Lights-Out' With A Lighter Commitment
For this integrated flexible pallet cell, the machines and the pallet system came from different suppliers. The shop is not locked into any supplier for adding machining centers later.

Doing Away With Coolant Disposal
This shop installed a series of improvements that eliminated spent coolant waste.

Fixing Smelly Corroding Coolant Sumps Pays Off For Injection Mold Maker
As this company grew and the machine shop expanded, odor and corrosion started to gain the upper hand.

Research Center Solves Coolant Odor Problem And Improves Recyclability
Recently, the shop personnel at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California, complained of a pungent odor problem with the coolant being used. To solve this problem, the Center's engineering group developed a coolant management program.
