👉 The dip fluid, also known as dip lubricant or penetrating oil, is a specialized substance applied to surfaces to reduce friction and wear during machining processes. It forms a thin, protective layer between the cutting tool and the workpiece, enhancing tool life and improving surface finish quality. Typically composed of oils, silicones, or other lubricants, dip fluids are designed to penetrate the surface of both the tool and the workpiece, creating a barrier that minimizes direct contact and heat generation. This not only extends tool life but also reduces the risk of workpiece deformation and improves overall machining efficiency.
