I've removed "The oil and water are mixed with detergent to form a milky white fluid that takes many days to separate." as I've never come across this problem. It may have been a problem with some early mixtures however it is not a one now. --Graibeard 04:56, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Shouldn't this be called metalworking fluid?
Not all fluids are used for cutting (e.g. grinding, drilling, pressing). "Cutting fluid" is too specific for this article, as several processes are mentioned. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pdharrin (talk • contribs) .
- I haven't heard of the term metalworking fluid. Cutting fluid, cutting compound (compound), coolant are the names I'm familiar with (from the industry in Australia). The operations you list are mostly cutting actions (grinding is a cutting action) although I agree that pressing is borderline, even though it often involves a trimming process. If the term metalworking fluid is one that is used in your locale then create the article and add a redirect to that page. See cutting compound as an example (inspect the heading closely). — Graibeard 07:24, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
The coolant maintenance article contains (a small bit of) information that pertains to this article and there is no reason for two articles on the same topic. Wizard191 (talk) 03:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tramp oil name
The name possibly arises from the film of oil left in the bottom of a tramp steamer ie:- bilge oil, or it may allude to the itinerant tramps behaviour of travelling around.
All speculation of course, but it is an unusual name -- Graibeard 11:21, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
