This paper contributes to a better understanding of cutting process characteristics using organic and inorganic coolant. In the research, RBD (Reduced, Bleached & Deodorized) Palm Olein was selected as the base oil for organic coolant and mixed coolant (base oil mixed with chemicals) to compare with the cutting performance of industrial water soluble chemical (inorganic) coolant. Using coated carbide tool, JIS SS400 Mild Steel was tested in milling process. At fixed spindle speed, the relations between feed rate and depth of cut on cutting temperature and surface roughness were investigated. Also, the dynamic viscosity for each coolant was taken into consideration. As predicted, cutting fluid with lower viscosity removed more heat. The cutting temperature increased with increasing feed rate and depth of cut. However, surface roughness increased with increasing feed rate but decreased with increasing depth of cut. From the data gathered, inorganic coolant showed the best performance in reducing cutting temperature, followed closely by RBD Palm Olein-based mixed coolant and pure RBD Palm Olein organic coolant. In term of surface finish, pure RBD Palm Olein organic coolant showed the best result, followed by mixed coolant and inorganic coolant. RBD Palm Olein-based mixed coolant with its cooling properties and lubricity had showed great potential to be a good cutting fluid.
