Minimal Quantity refers to the practice of using a very small amount of cutting fluid or lubricant during machining processes. This technique aims to reduce waste and improve efficiency while maintaining the necessary cooling and lubrication for tools and materials. It is particularly beneficial in industries where resource conservation is a priority. By minimizing the amount of fluid used, companies can lower costs and reduce environmental impact. The approach is often applied in conjunction with advanced machining technologies, such as CNC machines, to enhance performance and extend the lifespan of cutting tools.
