   THE BOTTOM LINE - The Death Match is intended to provide end users with a quantitative starting point in the critical path of decision-making related to metalworking fluids.  As most Manufacturing Engineers and Plant Managers have discovered, there is no independent publication like Consumer Report® for industrial products.  It's impractical to run tests on all of the machines in the shop. It's impractical to run bench test on all of the products available . That's why Industrial Consumer Advocate, Inc. created METALWORKING FLUID MAGAZINE.  

Notice:  A good bench test is great start, but it is not normally enough information on which to base a final decision regarding your metalworking fluid.  Always consult your company's metalworking fluid specialist and metalworking fluid representative.
