lõikepritsiga

Lõikepritsiga is an Estonian term that translates to "cutting spray" or "cutting fluid" in English. It refers to a liquid used in machining operations to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and the workpiece. This fluid is essential for a variety of metalworking processes, including turning, milling, drilling, and grinding.

The primary functions of lõikepritsiga are to reduce the friction between the tool and the material being cut, which in turn lowers the temperature generated by the cutting action. This cooling effect helps to prevent the cutting tool from overheating and becoming dull, thereby extending its lifespan and improving the quality of the machined surface. The lubrication provided by the fluid also helps to reduce the force required for cutting, leading to a smoother operation and potentially higher cutting speeds.

Lõikepritsiga can be composed of various substances, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, water-based emulsions, and even air or other gases in some specialized applications. The specific type of lõikepritsiga used depends on factors such as the material being machined, the type of cutting tool, the cutting speed, and the desired finish. Proper management and disposal of lõikepritsiga are also important considerations due to potential environmental and health impacts.
