Tufcut – Metal cutting compound

Keywords: Metals, Metal cutting

Ambersil, manufacturers of industrial consumables, recently launched a new product Tufcut, a metal cutting compound to add to its existing range of metal working lubricants.

Tufcut, metal cutting compound, is described as a ready to use compound that provides an extreme-pressure resistant, tenacious film between the tool cutting edge and the workpiece to ensure an excellent surface finish and an extended tool life. It has been designed specifically for turning, drilling, reaming, tapping and thread cutting of tough metals such as stainless steel, high tensile steels and nimonics. Tufcut, metal cutting compound, is also reported to dissipate heat and therefore allows heavier close tolerance cuts, reducing rejects and increasing production.

Ambersil have said "Our Tufcut metal cutting compound under went extensive trials in the field and we have now produced a compound that gives outstanding performance when turning, drilling, reaming, tapping and thread cutting many different types of metals".

Tufcut, metal cutting compound, is available in a 500 g tin and 5 kg tin and forms an addition to Ambersil's existing range of Tufcut liquid 300 g bottle and Tufcut in a 400 ml aerosol.
