Tectyl 900 gun oil for cutting fluid?

Great..........now I will have to buy a chainsaw to go with the oil. Thanks for that one.

I will say that no oil is wasted in my neck of the woods !

Aren't you still supposed to be still sleeping? What time do you have now?

 

[mmcmdl]

I'm on nightshift , work 7 pm to 7 am . It's 5 am over here .

 

[Suzuki4evr]

Well good luck with that.

If it were mine, I'd wait until the hazardous waste day, and give it to the waste hauler.

You could buy some guns, and use it for them.

Suz, I don't expect that you'll harm yourself using this as cutting oil. I had to search several manufacturers of the patent product to sort out what additives were in there, and it seems to boil down to light aliphatic hydrocarbons with a small end-of-pipe allowance for branched and aromatic hydrocarbons. This stuff is basically stoddard solvent with heavy oils blended in. It'll make a cruddy cutting oil, but it would make a great solvent cleaner that leaves a lasting oily residue. If it were me, I'd use it as parts wash.

Thanks Pontiac.
I will keep that in mind. I have decided to NOT use it as cutting oil,but am considering it as slideway lube though and now I might consider your idea as well. Thanks
