CUT-IT Cutting Paste | Falex Extreme Pressure Test to 2500 lbs

Independent Lab Test by Subsea Fluid Services

To validate the performance of CUT-IT metal cutting paste, we commissioned Subsea Fluid Services to run an independent Falex Extreme Pressure Test. This industry-standard procedure measures a lubricant’s ability to protect metal under load.

The results? CUT-IT paste performed flawlessly, withstanding up to 2500 lbs of pressure over a 30-minute test period with no lubrication failures.

Key Highlights from the Video

• Conducted by Subsea Fluid Services (independent lab)

• Test used the Falex Pin & Vee Block Method

• Started at 300 lbs load, increased in 100 lb steps per minute

• Reached 2500 lbs after 30 minutes without failure

• Confirms CUT-IT’s strength in high-pressure metal drilling and cutting

Tested & Certified

The Falex Pin & Vee Block Method is a recognised standard test for evaluating the extreme pressure performance of lubricants. It measures how well a lubricant prevents wear when metal is subjected to increasing loads.

In this test, CUT-IT cutting paste was applied to the Falex setup, starting with a 300 lb load. Every minute, the load was increased by 100 lbs. After 30 minutes, the test reached 2500 lbs of applied pressure — with no breakdown or lubrication failure.

These results confirm why CUT-IT performs so well in real-world drilling. Unlike thin oils that run off, CUT-IT’s paste formula clings to the drill bit, providing continuous protection against heat, friction, and pressure.
