How sawing with Unist works

How does Unist deliver sawing benefits with less fluid? We take a different approach:
Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Minimum Quantity Lubrication

Unist systems dispense a narrow stream of atomized lubrication called minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or near-dry machining. 

MQL keeps cutting tools at optimal temperatures without the mess of flood coolant by reducing friction. Minimum quantity lubrication can improve tool life and surface finishes using only a fraction of the fluid.

Our Coolube products are high performance lubricants. We take renewable, plant-based materials and refine them to very high levels of purity. 

The polar properties of Coolube create a high level of adhesion to metal surfaces and incredible friction-reducing capabilities.

Offered in several formulations, Coolube is a great option for machining ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastic materials. Coolube is so effective, you’ll be amazed at how little you need!
