    Also known as plumber's lard oil, these light-colored, sulfur-free lubricants won't stain soft metal, such as aluminum or copper. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. Lubricants are chlorine free for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern. Use at full strength.

    An alternative to nearly dry machining, apply these coolants to tools before milling and machining to reduce heat with minimal cleanup. They’re often used with shallow drilling, reaming, and tapping, as well as on saw blades. Remove from tools and work surfaces with alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, or a parts washer. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free. Use at full strength.
    Jar—Coolant in a jar is a paste. It can also be used as a bending and forming paste.

    Increase the time between coolant changes—wear-resistant properties allow these coolants to perform longer than standard grinding coolants. They prevent material from building up to ensure a high-quality finish and preserve tool life. Coolants inhibit bacteria growth to prevent foul odors. They are sulfur free. Dilute with water.
    Mineral Base Oil—Mineral-oil-based coolants have chlorine additives to handle hard metal, such as stainless steel and titanium.

    For general-purpose grinding, sanding, and finishing, these coolants prevent material from building up to ensure a high-quality finish and preserve tool life. All are sulfur free.
    Lubricants without chlorine can be used where chlorine waste disposal is a concern.
    Oil Based—Dilute oil-based coolants with water.
    Mineral Base Oil—Mineral-oil-based coolants are economical for quick jobs and touch-ups.
    Semi-Synthetic Base Oil—Semi-synthetic-oil-based coolants are a mix of mineral and synthetic oil for extra lubricity and long-lasting performance.
    Chlorine Additive—Lubricants with chlorine resist high pressure and are for use with difficult-to-machine material, such as stainless steel and hard metal.
