The Oak Signature brand of metalworking fluids integrates science and technology to help customers become more efficient in the manufacturing process. The products, which include cleaning fluids, stamping and drawing lubricants, machining and grinding fluids, corrosion preventives, and specialty products, are part of the CIMCOOL family of metalworking fluids.
The Oak Signature brand offers a complete line of products that have been proven to lower the cost of manufacturing in many metalforming applications and that meet stringent performance, health and safety requirements, according to the company. Oak Signature products are designed for a full range of materials, machines and operations. are appropriate for light to heavy-duty operations, are very clean, with no mineral oil, and offer excellent corrosion control.
Semi-synthetics are suited for individual machine and central system applications and combine the benefits of soluble oils with the advantages of synthetics. Soluble oils offer enhanced performance in difficult applications, as well as excellent physical lubrication in moderate to heavy-duty metalworking operations. Extreme pressure lubricant packages are available. Straight oils promote tool life for light to heavy-duty operations and in multi-metal applications. Extreme-pressure lubrication for severe-duty applications.

- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
- metalforming
metalforming
Manufacturing processes in which products are given new shapes either by casting or by some form of mechanical deformation, such as forging, stamping, bending and spinning. Some processes, such as stamping, may use dies or tools with cutting edges to cut as well as form parts.
- metalworking
metalworking
Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
