cutting fluid

A fluid, usually a liquid, used in metal cutting to improve finish, tool life, or dimensional accuracy. On being flowed over a tool and a workpiece, the fluid reduces friction, heat generated, and tool wear, and prevents galling. It conducts heat away from the point of generation and also serves to wash chips away.
