BOELUBE ia a Boeing developed lubricant, it fights friction at the interface of the cutting edge and the workpiece. The reduction of friction at these surfaces minimizes heat generation and concurrent chip weld. Tools retain their cutting edge longer, leading to closer tolerances and prime chip yield.
BOELUBE is an extremely cost effective solution for single point work such as drilling and reaming, it improves tool life by reducing heat build-up by applying BOELUBE to the tool before start-up.
In near dry machining the goal is high efficiency, which is achieved as a result of using a minimal quantity of lubricant, this produces near dry work pieces and chips with little or no clean up (or related costs and disposal costs).
Drilling is one of the most widely used machining processes to produce circular holes in metallic and non metallic materials, and is generally characterized as a roughing process (rough form), whereas reaming is considered a finishing process (exact form).
