Tool spray redux

The Horkos Corp., which demonstrated its minimum-quantity lubrication technology in a series of videos produced in 2001, shared the videos with CTE Plus to let our readers view the technology in action.

CTE Plus offfers three of those videos as an online complement to CUTTING TOOL ENGINEERING Magazine's March 2008 feature article entitled "Tool Spray" by CTE Editor Alan Richter. Each of the demonstrations depicted below employ an minimum-quantity lubrication method known as mixing inside spindle.
