Product Information
Full details
The Morris Supercut 1000 is a high-quality, water-soluble metalworking fluid designed for general machining applications involving ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Its key benefit is providing excellent lubricity and corrosion protection while being economical and low in odor. A potential caveat is its traditional formulation, which may require specific handling and disposal considerations compared to newer synthetic fluids.

FAQs
What is the recommended concentration for general machining?
A typical concentration for general machining is 5% (5 liters of Supercut 1000 per 95 liters of water).
Is Supercut 1000 suitable for all metal types?
Yes, it is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
Does it contain chlorine?
No, Supercut 1000 is chlorine-free.
How should I mix the fluid?
Always add the concentrate to water (water to concentrate) to achieve a stable emulsion. Never add water to the concentrate.
What kind of applications can I use this fluid for?
It is suitable for general machining, free machining metals, non-critical grinding, turning, milling, drilling, boring, and shaping.
What should I do if the emulsion starts to foam excessively?
You can try reducing the concentration slightly, ensuring there is no excessive air entrainment, or using a compatible anti-foam agent.
Does this product contain any formaldehyde-releasing biocides?
No, Supercut 1000 is free from formaldehyde-release biocides.
Troubleshooting
Emulsion instability (separating or 'oiling out')
Verify the correct mixing ratio. Ensure water quality is adequate and check for contamination from other substances. Extreme temperatures can also affect stability.
Excessive foam
Reduce the concentration slightly, check for air entrainment in the system, or consider using an anti-foam agent if necessary and compatible.
Corrosion on machined parts
Confirm the correct concentration is being used. Ensure proper fluid maintenance and filtration. Check for contaminants in the system.
Reduced tool life
Increase the concentration slightly for improved lubrication. Ensure the coolant is reaching the cutting zone effectively and check for any system blockages.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Economical to use and purchase.
- Provides good corrosion protection for various metals.
- Low odor enhances the working environment.
- Versatile across multiple machining operations.
- Free from common undesirable additives like chlorine and phenols.
Cons
- Traditional oil-based formulation may require more diligent fluid management.
- Requires proper disposal procedures for oil-water mixtures.
- Potential for bacterial growth if maintenance is neglected, despite preservatives.
- May not offer the same extreme performance characteristics as specialized synthetic fluids for highly demanding tasks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Mixing: To prepare the emulsion, always add the concentrate to water, not water to concentrate. A typical concentration for general machining is 5% (5 liters of Supercut 1000 per 95 liters of water). Adjust concentration based on the specific application and water hardness.
Compatibility: Supercut 1000 is compatible with most mains water. It is designed for use with both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Ensure all equipment, including coolant systems and storage containers, are clean before use.
Care: Regularly monitor the emulsion concentration and condition. Maintain cleanliness of the machine tool and coolant sump to prevent contamination and bacterial growth. Check for tramp oil and remove it promptly. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends fluid life.
