Cutting oil v. thread cutting oil - difference?
"Robert Swinney" wrote in message news:... The heavy black sulfurized stuff is hightly recommended as a replacement for the oil lard oil used in the past. I have never found a source for real lard oil so I have no basis for comparison. The black stuff works pretty well on threading. Don't ask me if I think it is worth the mess.

All that they had was pints of "dark" thread cuttiing oil (Oatey 30203), so I bought that. I'll be using it for cutting or drillling iron/steel. What's the difference? For Harry homeowner, does it matter? R, Tom Q.l ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

When I was shopping, I vaguely remembered that sulphur was good, but I didn't know why. I sometimes have solid lard on hand. Ddo you know how that compares with lard oil? I do know how to turn solid lard liquid. g R, Tom Q. |
