Even though CNC machining centers have taken over most milling processes, the majority of machine shops still use manual milling machines as it is one of the most versatile and commonly used machines.

Milling is a process that uses a milling cutter to remove material from a work piece. This process is suitable for machining a wide range of materials such as metal, plastics, acrylics and wood. When machining metal the friction between the tool and workpiece can cause heat to build up. Most operators using a manual mill use a brush or a spray bottle to lubricate their cutting tools when ample amounts of heat are generated.

Most Efficient Manual Milling Lubrication System

maglube manual mill machine With MagLube’s MQL system, lubricating your cutting tool is now easier and more efficient than ever. The MagLube MQL system uses a very small amount of high grade lubricant mixed with air to eliminate the friction between the cutting tool and work piece. MQL will deliver improved tool life and surface finishes on machined parts. This is due to the quality and effectiveness of the lubricant. For best results, we recommend using our bio-degradable organic LD-300L lubricant.

Operators can activate the system with a toggle switch and adjust the nozzle to accommodate multiple tools lengths and cutting paths. From single spindle tool room mills to multi-spindle gantry mills, MagLube can design, build and retrofit the correct MQL system to any milling machine.
