Cutting oil

Right on, Ken! Lubricating oil and cutting oil are trying to help to achieve exactly the opposite things...
That's what I thought, but there were others supporting the idea so... I should try and find it again. I never tried the idea in any case. :)

Metal can be cut with no oil at all. It can also be cut with most any oil out there, or water. Cutting oils are made specifically for cutting metal. Lubricating oils are made to keep metal from being cut. I know which I will choose...
 
STP is more of tackifier than lubricating oil. Why do you think it helps keep things lubricated in a worn engine?
Add it to ISO 46 oil and you got way oil!:grin: Well almost..

How/where do you get it?

I clicked the link, then went to the distributors page for USA, got to "Indestructible Paint." Tried clicking on their product number, got sent back to the page I got with your link. Tried filling out the "Contact us" stuff, and got a page full of some kind of weird error messages.

I bought mine from a machine shop that was a distributor. I am not sure how you would get it on your side of the pond. This stuff is very good and seems to be the cutting oil of choice for manual machines on this side of the pond.

To the OP, ordering things at HD is no problem - I have done it many times. There is no shipping charge if you pick it up at the store and it arrives typically in a few days. Their catalog of stuff that you can order is enormous. I guess they are trying to compete with online retailers.
 
If you buy Mobilmet 766 on Amazon you can get an extended warranty! ;) I wish I was joking but they really do offer it.
 
Guys, one thing we all need to do is get the MSDS sheet (European/Australian call it something else) to the product we use and pay attention to things like fumes, mists, vapors, that these products put out. Also thing like contact with your skin, eyes, etc., can have an serious end results. And many other things that could have adverse affects on use of these products. In general, probably okay with most, just a caution to all. Ken
