I've previously mentioned a great product I discovered only because a friend
gave me a bottle of it.. Lenox ProTool Lube. The PTL product is much cleaner
to use than thick sulfur oils..

(It's a proprietary synthetic of some kind.) Not to confuse the issue,
but sulfated cutting oils are not thick. You may be thinking of
sulfated thread-cutting oil, the kind that's sold for threading pipe.
