This application presents a method and apparatus for cooling a through-ported cutting tool with a source of liquid CO.sub.2 with a compressed air line with a compressed air inlet and multiple CO.sub.2 injection capillary segments; the capillary segments interconnect to the same source of liquid CO.sub.2 and can have high pressure valves and throttles; the throttles have different sizes; a first capillary ends near the cutting tool; the second capillary ends near the compressed air inlet. Using a particular sequence of opening or closing the valves to the liquid CO.sub.2 to the capillaries, mixing with the compressed air provides and recycling the residual CO.sub.2, this invention provides for uniform and controlled cooling of the cutting tool within a certain temperature range.

A method for supplying cutting oil in a machine tool for cutting work pieces, including the steps of retaining cutting oil in a minimum reference quantity or an initial reference quantity in the cutting-oil tank, measuring a supply quantity per unit time q of the cutting oil flowing out from the cutting-oil tank and supplied to a cutting area of work pieces, either supplying the cutting oil to the cutting-oil tank by a quantity per unit time q larger than q and the supply is stopped in the case where the cutting-oil tank is filled, and the supplying and stopping are repeated as necessary, or supplying the cutting oil to the cutting-oil tank by a quantity per unit time equal to the supply quantity per unit time q.

In one example, a method including controlling milling of a component via a milling system, the milling system including a spindle, a tool holder coupled to the spindle, the tool holder configured to receive a milling tool; and the milling tool configured to remove at least a portion of the component via milling while the milling tool is rotated by the spindle and tool holder, wherein the milling system is configured to conduct an electrical signal between the milling tool and component during milling of the component when the milling tool is not broken; monitoring the electrical signal conducted between the milling tool and component; and determining whether the milling tool is broken based on the monitored electrical signal.

The present invention relates to an aqueous lubricating composition comprising at least: water; from 0.01% to 10% by weight of at least one polysaccharide; from 0.1% to 10% by weight of at least one alkoxylated castor oil; from 0.1% to 10% by weight of at least one sulfur-containing and/or phosphorus-containing antiwear compound.

The invention also relates to the use of the combination of at least one alkoxylated castor oil and of at least one phosphorus-containing and/or sulfur-containing antiwear compound in an aqueous lubricating composition comprising at least one polysaccharide, in order to improve its antiwear and/or extreme-pressure properties.

A coolant supply device and supply method that can appropriately control the spraying of coolant using a single parameter. A pump (101) supplies coolant to a tool (D), and a measurement device (22) measures the discharge pressure of the pump (101). A control device (50) has a function for determining, from the rotation rate of the pump (101), the coolant flow path diameter for the tool (D) and the target value for the pump discharge pressure (target pressure) when the tool (D) is drilling.

Provided is a machining tool system configured to be utilized in an environment in which a hydraulic fluid and a processing fluid are mixed, in which a water-soluble material that does not contain an oil-soluble materials derived from a mineral is used for the hydraulic fluid and the processing fluid (collectively, the fluids). The machining tool system includes: collecting means for collecting the fluids after a lubricating effect ends while being mixed, the collecting means being disposed downstream of a lubricating flow path of the machining tool; a discharging container communicating with the collecting means and storing the fluids; and circulating means for suctioning the fluids inside the discharging container without separation into oil and water from an inlet port in the discharging container at a position separated from a bottom portion and returning the fluids to a supply flow path of the processing fluid and/or the hydraulic fluid.
