Why Dry Cutting Works Best for Graphite: Understanding the Dry Cutting Mechanism

We once consulted on a challenging project involving precision graphite electrodes. The client assumed that flooding the cut with traditional cutting fluids would control thermal buildup and tool wear. Instead, the results were disastrous: rapid abrasive tool wear, micro-chipping along the cutting edges, and unpredictable tool life across identical workpieces. Years of hands-on CNC experience […]
