At Sparks Welding Services, we’ve been employing Rock Oil Akwesol in our Heathrow workshop for years, and there’s a reason why. When you’re slicing high-quality metals on a daily basis, your cutting oil can be the difference between an easy cut and one that’s hard to achieve.
Akwesol differs from cheaper alternatives in its higher quality cooling and lubricating properties. We’ve discovered it really does make a big difference to tool life, especially when machining harder metals such as stainless steel and high-tensile materials. The high-tech formula withstands chip welding and the danger of built-up edges on cutting tools – problems we were finding ourselves experiencing all too frequently with cheaper cutting oils.
One of the greatest benefits we’ve noticed is the way Akwesol sustains its performance even through long cutting operations. While regular cutting oils will break down in heat and pressure, Akwesol retains its viscosity and cooling characteristics. The reward is cleaner cuts, improved surface finishes, and less tool replacement – savings that quickly repay the up-front cost difference of less expensive alternatives.
– Better cooling and lubrication efficiency
– Decreases tool wear significantly
– Avoids chip welding and edge buildup
– Performs well under pressure
– Very good surface finish quality
– Less tool wear
– Ideal for non-ferrous and ferrous metals
– Clean running with low oil mist – Pleasing to use with little odour
Supplied in 5L, 20L, and 205L drums with bulk delivery available to commercial accounts. As we are professionals ourselves, we’re pleased to provide the best buy possibilities for your business.
Our staff has long, hands-on experience with Akwesol in production machining shops. We can offer advice on methods of application, dilution ratios, and maintenance practices to assist you in obtaining maximum benefit from your cutting oil investment.
