The race lights dim, and the competition begins. With the engine roaring at full throttle—its 230-horsepower V8 emitting a thunderous, tiger-like growl—the driver presses hard on the accelerator, leaning forward under the force of acceleration. Just 2.6 seconds later, the car hits 100 km/h. Five seconds after that, BMW’s new SUTER streaks across the asphalt track at an astonishing 200 km/h, its speed echoing like a rolling thunderstorm. Such blistering speed would leave even the most seasoned Porsche racers in awe, as achieving this level of performance demands nothing less than absolute excellence—both from the driver and the machine itself. Drivers must endure grueling, superhuman training regimens to master the art of pushing their vehicles to the limit, while the bike itself must be equipped with cutting-edge, top-tier systems to ensure it remains stable and safe at these breakneck speeds.
In fact, Swiss Basso Lubrication Ltd. has already conducted research in this area. For manufacturers, the cost of cutting tools and metalworking fluids represents only a tiny fraction of the expense associated with a new machine tool. As a result, manufacturers often fail to fully appreciate the significant impact that metalworking fluids can have on machining different material workpieces—and even more so, they tend to underestimate how crucial the right cutting fluid is for optimizing the entire machining process. In some cases, they even view cutting fluids as nothing more than a costly "devil" that merely increases operational expenses during manufacturing. Christoph Wüthrich, Director of the Technical Center at Basso Swiss Lubrication Ltd., emphasizes that, in this industry, selecting the appropriate cutting fluid is absolutely critical.
Basso Technology Center
Let’s step into the technology center located at Baso’s headquarters in Hasle-Rüegsau, Switzerland, where we’ll explore the critical role of metalworking fluids in machining processes and their impact on mechanical manufacturing techniques. Technical Director Mr. Christoph Wüthrich explains that, within this 300-square-meter facility, Baso conducts tailored tests based on customers’ specific machining processes and workpiece requirements. He compares these research efforts to "searching for a needle in a haystack," given that metalworking fluids with varying performance characteristics are formulated using distinct additives.
Test Results Overview
Choosing the right metal cutting fluid is critical for extending tool life—under the same workpiece material conditions, tool life can increase up to 15 times. As for the cutting tools themselves, the differences are even more dramatic: even when using the same metal cutting fluid and cutting parameters, tool life can still vary dramatically, with some tools lasting up to 20 times longer than others. The optimal test combination for titanium alloy boring: Swiss KAISER 655.389 paired with Swiss Basso B-Cool 755.
