I'm not going to but any specific thread cutting lube, but does anyone know
what 'common' lube is most suited .... 3-in-1, white spirit, WD40, Paraffin,
brake fluid, lithium grease.

I think that 3-in-1 would be the best from that list (I'd avoid the
brake fluid completely - nasty stuff). I assume that you have those
handy? If not, you're better off with the real thing. Something like

which I use for all my lathe work, is not too expensive, and it works
on most common materials.
