Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cooling and lubricating a metal-cutting rotating tool with a geometrically defined cutting element and/or the workpiece in the cutting zone. A coolant-lubricant and a carrier gas are fed separately into a tool shaft, brought together inside the rotating working spindle as close as possible to the cutting zone and directed via integral feed ducts onto the cutting element and/or cutting zone. Also disclosed is a device for applying this method. The coolant-lubricant and carrier gas are each introduced into a coolant reservoir completely or partially filled with a porous filler where they are mixed; the mixture is then fed directly into the cutting zone.

Abstract: A method and device for changing a position of a cutting edge of a lathe tool, whereby the position is changed or altered in dependence upon a rotational frequency and a speed of rotation, respectively, that is, in dependence upon a centrifugal force.

Abstract: A process for the separation of solids from liquids in a closed pressure system, wherein liquid is passed through a treatment column containing purifying material. A portion of the purifying material is removed in a timed intermittent quasi-continuous manner and cleaned in a rinsing column. The cleaned purifying material is then fed back to the treatment column by backflushing and the use of a liquid transport medium.
