World leader EXXONMOBIL  has a long reach into the field of Metalworking Fluids as well.  Mobilcut is the trademark for Mobil Industrial lubricants line of water miscible metal removal fluids.  They have a split approach that combines text fields to describe the applications and then a chart to provide the properties.  Why not put it all on a chart?  The link provides a nice summary of the applications of their aqueous products, which are at least summarized on a single page:

Mobilcut 100:  General machining of easy to machine steels and copper alloys in light to moderate duty machining operations such as milling, turning, sawing, boring, drilling and reaming.

Mobilcut 140: Machining of aluminum and high machinability steels for moderate to heavy duty operations such as milling, turning, sawing, boring, drilling and reaming where the lubricity of a soluble oil is desired.

Mobilcut 210:   Machining of ferrous/non ferrous metals in centralized or individual machines.  Lower oil content for extra wettability and corrosion protection.  Well suited for cast iron machining and grinding.

Mobilcut 230: High performance, semi synthetic cutting fluid, primarily recommended for machining steels, easier to machine stainless steels, and cast iron in milling, tuning, sawing, boring, drilling and reaming.

Mobilcut 250: Semi synthetic cutting fluid primarily intended for the machining of aluminum and aluminum alloys.  It  may also be used on a wide variety of ferrous materials where a more versatile fluid is required.

Mobilcut 320: Synthetic (mineral oil-free) grinding fluid, primarily recommended for grinding of steels and cast iron.
