## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the mix ratio for a horizontal bandsaw?**
A: According to their website:

Concentrations in excess of 7% typically offer the best sump life and tool life. However, the optimum concentration for your operations is best determined by on-site testing.
The minimum recommended concentration is 5% on cast iron and 4% on steel.

**Q: What formula would be best for cutting a variety of different metals on a bandsaw ?**
A: TRIM SC520 will handle a variety of both ferrous and nonferrous metals. This product would be best for a band saw operation.

**Q: How much coolent for a gallon of water ?**
A: I use 12 oz's of coolant to a 3 gal of water... it's perfect for me...

**Q: Is this the correct fluid for my pump/tank system that will be circulating the fluid to and from the work on my metal lathe? (I'm reaming a barrel)**
A: I use this for my metal band saw.  I use regular metal cutting oil for my lathe.  I don't recall the number on the 5 gallon bucket.

    Good Stuff
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on 5 March 2019*

I use this in my band saw. Great product. Flows as it should, almost films, and has excellent corrosion inhibitors. Also does an excellent job clearing the shavings away from the cut. I do run it a little thicker than they recommend since I don't have a high volume shop waste is not an issue. Highly recommend this.
