TRIM Cutting & Grinding Fluids SC520/1 General Purpose Semisynthetic Fluid Concentrate, 1 gal Jug

I have used this in Milltronics VMC for about 8 months with no bubbler and it still has the same mild scent, almost unnoticeable. Corrosion prevention appears good. It will irritate your skin wear gloves when handling for very long.

5 star product and seller.

Great Product, Fast Shipping! Just as good as HyCut at 75% less cost!!!!

It’s probably because I don’t use my equipment regularly, and it’s not specific to this product but I’m done with water based coolants. They have all jammed my pumps with a waxy build up. It may work well if you use it every day but it’s absolute garbage if you’re a hobbiest who may let it sit for a week or two.

Works well. No smell. Keeps lathe and mill clean

I read through some of the comments on the mix ratio and settled on trying 5 oz per gallon. Ran my mill in the evening and shut down. In the morning I came into shop and the mill had started to rust. I cleaned that up and increased my concentration to about 1/3 of a gallon of Trim to 4 gallons of water. That works pretty good but I still see a little bit of tendency to rust here and there. Thus I am going to use a full half gallon of Trim to 4 gallons of water. That might be a bit heavy, but rust is no fun! I spent about 20 years in the machine shop in one career. that ended in 1994. So I have seen my fair share of coolant. I would say Trim does a nice job and is pleasant to work with vs what we used back in the day. But do watch your concentration level! P

I use this in my band saw. Great product. Flows as it should, almost films, and has excellent corrosion inhibitors. Also does an excellent job clearing the shavings away from the cut. I do run it a little thicker than they recommend since I dont have a high volume shop waste is not an issue. Highly recommend this.

works well, would recommend

Wide range of effective concentration. Stays emulsified well with intermittent use a few weeks in between. Has almost no smell and hasn’t cause any skin issues. Protects the metal well, the mild steel filings I left on my bandsaw have little to no rust which was surprising to me.

I like the ease of use, lubricity, smell and clean up. I have had no issues with this lubricant and no rust issues either.
