CRC CDT Cutting Liquid 5L Premium Metal Cutting Fluid For Machinists High Speed Cutting Low Friction Long Tool Life

CRC CDT Cutting liquids revolutionize metalworking lubrication, delivering superior neat cutting, drilling, tapping, and reaming performance for both hand and machine operations. By dramatically reducing friction and wear, they enable higher cutting speeds, longer tool life, and consistently high-quality surface finishes across a wide range of metals.

Designed with extreme pressure additives, CDT Cutting compounds form a tenacious, thinning lubricating film that clings to tools even on vertical surfaces and when cutting at awkward angles. This means you can work at any orientation without sacrificing protection or performance. The result is smoother cuts, fewer score marks, and reduced scrap across the workshop floor.

These compounds leave an anti-corrosive residue and are safe to use on soft metals such as brass, copper, and aluminium, giving you flexibility across mixed-material runs. They are available in multiple formats to fit your workflow:

• CDT Cutting Oil – a convenient aerosol ideal for mobile engineers and off-site work, delivering rapid, on-demand lubrication exactly where you need it.
• CDT Cutting Liquid – a heavy-duty viscous fluid supplied in a practical squeeze bottle for controlled application in machine beds and bench operations.
• CDT Metal Cutting Paste – a robust, brushable or dip-able paste for direct tool coating, perfect for high-pressure broaching, gear manufacturing, or deep-drawing tasks.

Applications span the full spectrum of metalworking:

• General metal cutting, drilling, tapping, and reaming — with dependable protection from start to finish.
• Tube drawing, extrusion, and cold forming – especially when working with difficult steels and difficult-to-machine materials.
• Deep drawing and forming of stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, chrome alloys, and aluminium, where conventional lubricants struggle to maintain film strength.

What makes CRC CDT Cutting compounds stand out?

• High-performance EP additives deliver exceptional resistance to temperature, pressure, and wear, extending tool life and reducing production downtime.
• Homogeneous, tenacious lubricating film provides consistent lubrication across the cut, preventing welding and scoring while maintaining surface integrity.
• Cling on vertical surfaces and at extreme angles, enabling reliable operation in challenging geometries without constant reapplication.
• Anti-corrosive residue protects workpieces and tooling from rust and oxidation, even on soft metals.
• MPI Approved C12 certification indicates compatibility with ethical formulations (all animal products except dairy).
• Permastraw Dual-Action Spray System in the 400 ml aerosol version ensures precise, two-way spray control and straw stability for clean, repeatable application.

Why choose CDT for your workshop?

• Improve tool life and reduce tooling costs by minimizing wear and heat buildup during continuous cutting operations.
• Boost cutting performance with higher speeds and steady feeds, even on tough alloys and high-strength steels.
• Enhance process reliability with a dependable film that maintains lubrication across the entire operation, reducing downtime and scrap.
• Flexible usage across hand and machine processes, from delicate drilling to heavy-duty broaching, all with consistent results.

For professionals seeking a proven, versatile cutting lubricant family, CRC CDT Cutting liquids deliver precise formulation, trusted performance, and practical application options that adapt to your workflow. Add to cart and experience smoother cuts, longer tool life, and cleaner finishes across your metalworking projects.
