Case Studies

Precision Parts Manufacturer Saves 40% on Cutting Fluid with TRIM™ E950
The customer is a large-scale precision parts manufacturer that serves the aerospace and energy sectors. Their high-volume facility includes more than 40 CNC machines that carry out turning, drilling, machining and grinding operations on challenging materials including aluminium, Inconel®, titanium and stainless steel.
THE CHALLENGE
The customer’s previous cutting fluid met all expectations in terms of performance, sump life and other KPIs. However, managers were tasked with finding additional cost-saving opportunities on the shop floor without sacrificing quality. As a result, they conducted a head-to-head test of their previous cutting fluid with a product from the Master Fluid Solutions™ TRIM™ catalogue and analysed the financial impact on their operation.
THE SOLUTION
The team at Master Fluid Solutions recommended TRIM E950, a high-performance, premium emulsion especially suited to aerospace manufacturing. The low-maintenance cutting fluid delivered exceptionally long tool life and flawless surface finish on parts, even with difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel, aluminium alloys, titanium and various grades of steel.
THE RESULTS
The customer charged several sumps with TRIM E950 and ran machines side by side with their previous cutting fluid, using the same materials, feeds and speeds to create identical machining conditions. E950 outperformed the previous fluid by every measure.

Immediately, machine operators noticed improved surface finish on their parts and even longer tool life. Due to TRIM E950’s low carryoff, the operators also saw a significant reduction in coolant consumption — enough to cut costs by 40%.

Originally, Master Fluid Solutions experts estimated E950 would save the customer 10% in fluid spending. Managers were so impressed by the actual results that they converted all their machines to the TRIM solution. Savings remained consistent even after 12 months of continuous monitoring.
THE NUMBERS
  • Reduced cutting fluid costs by 40%
  • Extended tool life
  • Improved surface finishes
  • Lowered carryoff for reduced top-ups
