Hi John,

We use MasterCam for our software and no, the coolant is not for aluminum specifically, but our tooling and inserts (Walter-Valenite) are all aluminium specific and we do keep the concentration on the high side to help with machining aluminum. We use Val-Cool VP Tech-005 and it has worked well for us for several years now.

Thanks!

Thanks Russ I machine aluminium my self mainly 6082 T6 and some 7075 T6. I use Merlin carbide cutters 3 flute 55 degree helix for aluminium. I have always used Rocol Ultracut 250 plus but it's got really exspensive recently!
