When cutting with circular carbide saws one will typically use a minimal quantity lubrication system. Besides other affects it will help to reduce the friction between the chip and the tooth to reduce the chip thickness of the cut chip and reduces the required cutting force accordingly. Despite the fact that the specific heat capacity of a water- based emulsion is about 2X that of oil-based lubricants, and heat conductivity is about 5X, the oil-based lubricant reduces heat and provides better cutting conditions resulting in longer tool life.
