Hey Guys here’s an “Oil” question.

Any extra oils always end up going thru my chainsaws while up in the mountains . I'm not so picky with saws .
 
Maybe text it for penetration into rusty parts. It might work as a thin rust prevention oil but test it well before relying on it.
I would also test it for compatibility with the oils you are already using on or in the lathe.
 
Try asking the question on the "Bob is The Oil Guy" website. There seems to be a lot of chemists on that site that work in the refining industry. Besides that it's just plain interesting to browse.
 
A little turbine oil gets used for oiling my dial indicators in the shop. One could probably use it to oil mill spindles in a pinch
but I have a gallon of the correct oil so will not try it there. It's not an oil that I would use for bar oil. It's way too thin for that
and would be environmentally unfriendly. Turbine oil also has allergy potential if a person is prone to getting allergies so that
is something to keep in mind. I have a grandfather clock and a mantle clock that would be candidates for a little of this oil.
It's great stuff for close tolerance parts that need a fine oil and doesn't seem to gum up. Using turbine oil in fishing reels
comes to mind too...
 
b4autodark, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate everyone’s comments but was looking for some direction. Cheers.

cathead, thanks! I was thinking the same sort of thing. I have an old typewriter from the late 1800’s that it might work on as well.
