These days, environment problems are getting much more attention than ever these days, and we have been working on developing dry machining technology which requires MQL or no cutting fluid includes toxic pollutant such as chlorine. In this paper, we will introduce a newly developed MQL cutting process. After evaluated cutting performance of absolute dry cutting, dry cutting with air-cooling, and MQL cutting, we chose MQL cutting which was found to be superior in terms of the main issues, lubrication and cooling. And then, we developed new MQL cutting by adopting newly developed high lubrication cutting fluid and incidental facilities to secure the same cutting tool life and cutting accuracy as those of conventional wet cutting.
