bio-friendly cutting lube ?

Aug 14, 2008 1 Replies

yeah I'll google it but wanted to just ask here for recommendations. I cut 0-1 flat stock on a bandsaw at low speed so I think I need more along the lines of lubricant than coolant . I did say "think".



thanks Dar


This product works very well as a cutting lubricant on all types of metal. A friend gave me a bottle of it a few years ago, and initially, I didn't have much confidence that a biodegradeable lube would be very good, but I was mistaken.

Lenox Pro Tool Lube, it's great for sawing, lathe cutting operations, tapping, milling, drilling or manual cutting techniques. It rinses off cleanly with water and tapped holes are easily flushed out with a trigger spray bottle.
