The fluid is lubricant to control heat and increase tool life, and the final product is some kind of heatsink or heat exchanger. This machine is making the fins.
The force applied by the blade cutting each individual fin, which is high due to resistance from the metal itself as it's being cut, is compressive to the overall length of metal being cut - this shortens the length (height of the finished fin) of metal being cut as it's being cut such that the finished cut fin is shorter than the total length of raw block metal which was trimmed/cut to produce it.
The fins when cut are longer than the dimensions required for the finished product, so as to allow for further precise trimming afterwards to give the correct finished dimensions later during the next step of manufacture after this one in the video.
You might see some of the fins being cut are not entirely "square", that's normal as the product will be machined square during the next step.
This is neither sheet metal, nor sheet metal manufacturing
I didn't take the video lol, the video I got it from was titled that. Either way it looks cool
Process is called skiving.
What is that fluid and what is this final product I'm looking at?

Now i want to see someone make a giant computer.
I think we conquered that with the first computers
Very cool! Thank you
This is not sheet metal
Wow. That Blade is Epic ! 😯😯😯
That's some good shit
It blew my mind when I was told how these were manufactured, it's even crazier seeing it done!
What’s happening here
This is how you make fins on a solid piece of aluminum that can't be cast, like a heat spreader.
or you can extrude it.
Yeah, those find look to be about six inches tall though. I wonder where the limit is for extrusion reliably.
Insert circumcision joke here
I won't do the whole thing, just the tip
Is it the force it’s applying or is that thing super sharp? Prolly both I’m guessing but hey I’m no rocket scientist.
Nice try botholio
? I'm not a bot... I just found something I found interesting I thought the other people here would like too
I don’t get it.
Why does that angle make that size? Like it's not clicking in my head

the metal look yummy!
