Conclusion: Is Opticut 5.25 Right for Your Shop?

If you run precision grinding operations—specifically centerless or surface grinding on steel, stainless, or aluminum—Opticut 5.25 is an industry benchmark for a reason.

  1. Fill your tank or bucket with clean tap or deionized water (room temperature).
  2. Measure the exact amount of Opticut 5.25 concentrate.
  3. Slowly pour the concentrate into the water while gently agitating (stirring or running a pump).
  4. Check the pH (aim for 9.2). If the water is too soft (low pH), the fluid may foam. If too hard (high pH, scum), consider a water softener.
