THRU-THE-TOOL® internal coolant routing
Today there is a wide range of tools with internal coolant routing. UNIST's Thru-the-Tool systems are the most effective and inexpensive way to apply minute but adequate amounts of clean, highly efficient Coolube® lubricants or water-based coolants to your tool/workpiece interfaces. We even designed them to operate directly with your NC and CNC controls.
Use these systems with any of these delivery methods:
- Spindle coolant inducers
- Coolant-fed bushings
- Coolant-fed spindles
- Coolant-fed turning tool holders
Don't expect this level of savings or product improvements from any other internal coolant routing system.
As the Thru-the-Tool systems' expanding compressed air cools the tooling, it is easier to remove chips from the cutting interface. Your workers will spend less time cleaning up. You'll spend less money on recycling or on disposing the fluids.
You’ll also find that with these systems, the mist coolant or high-efficiency Coolube clings to the cutting surface longer. This drastically reduces heat generation so your tools should last longer. And you’ll see improvements in hole quality and surface finishes with no speed or feed limits.
Read more about these exciting Thru-the-Tool® systems:
- Tornado System. This unique, high-velocity system permits nearly unrestricted airflow and minimum pressure drop as it lubricates fixed machine cutting tools.
- Whirlwind Spindle Coolant/Lubricant Spray System. Designed for all makes and models of vertical and horizontal computer-controlled machining centers, this system works on some stand-alone machines, too. The Whirlwind not only reduces heat generation, it absorbs heat and transfers heat out of the generated area so your work interfaces stay cool.
- Mini-Piggyback System. Use this lightweight, portable system to lubricate your pneumatic hand tools. It is 100% pneumatic so no need for electrical connections.
- Typhoon System. This portable unit provides instant on/off lubrication for air cutting tools.

"The THRU-THE-TOOL units have finally received their COSHH (Health And Safety Standard) assessments and were found to be 10 times below legal requirements on atmospheric misting, when the optimum settings on oil volume and air pressures were evaluated. "
