For this machine, the usual cutting tools are end-mills selected for the specimen material, since the tooling recommendation is based on customer material type and end-mills are listed as a routine consumable. The coolant setup is a recirculating flood system with a self-contained tank in the base, which keeps flat tensile and impact specimen preparation compact and self-contained.

In practice, the coolant choice is usually driven by the material being machined and the surface finish you want on the specimen. The page names Cim Cool, Hocut, and Blaser as common coolant brands, and it also notes that the spindle is air-cooled, so no external water or chiller connection is required.
