I'm using Castrol Hysol Excel cutting fluid as it is universally applicable across most metals and most processes (turning, milling and grinding).
Just come to re-order another 20 litre drum to get heart stopping prices ranging from £95 upwards. Anyone know of supplies at a more reasonable price?

The only way I've found it at sensible prices is to wait until J&L have it on offer.

It's semi-synthetic and *full* of clever additives. Such things don't come cheap.
Cheaper if you're a large customer and get 40% discount...

J&L have it at £89.95 at the moment ;-)

They now have one less - I bit the bullet last night and ordered a drum!

Presuambly with the 40% saving you could spend it on sticky buns/beer/cow pie to make you an even larger customer...
But even at the full price it seems a bargain, 20 litres makes up many hundreds of litres of usable solution.

Believe me it goes nowhere (because it goes everywhere!). Seriously though even at 5% the 400 litres produced isn't much spread between the CNC mill, conventional mill, lathe, pedestal grinder, surface grinder, cylindrical grinder, chop off saw and donkey saw.
