A while back I was having problems with trying to turn 1018 on our old
B+S screw machine. I'm trying to change over to 1018 from 12L14 which
is quit a bit more expensive. I'm lookin for reconmendations as to
which oil to buy. In MSC they had the heavy duty and medium duty oil.
I'm making #6, #8 screws from 3/8 bar stock and have to turn the dia
back two inches.

Good old high sulphur black oil

"The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if
nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace
personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed,
the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of
defense for a civilized society. Unfortunately, too many of us see
police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line
of defense." --Walter Williams
