Cutting oil
Nigel Toll | 03/03/2017 07:39:26 |
4 forum posts | Hello All, I've been using EP90 gear oil as a cutting oil. It seems to work well, if a bit smelly. As an old Land-Rover owner I change the gear and axle oils every year which gives me a supply of about 2 gallons.
Regards, Nigel Toll

750 forum posts | Hi Nigel, I bought 5L of neat Supercut cutting oil from ebay seller lubetechoil for £20 delivered. This link might work... **LINK** No afiliation but at that price for a lifetime's supply it seems hard to beat. HTH Jon |

7227 forum posts 21 photos | I don't think that Warco will supply by post/carrier, except with a machine. You can buy / collect from their stand at shows. Would not have thought that EP90 would be a suitable cutting fluid. The Extreme Pressure feature could well prevent the tool forcing its way through the oil film. Even neat cutting oil will show this at times with a very fine feeds. The tool advances , barely cutting, and then the swarf comes flying of for a short time, before the process repeats itself.
