I purchased 3   x  400ml aerosol cans of 'oily brown gunge' from Scewfix a 
couple of years ago at quite a reasonable price (about £3.60) but I now find 
that they no longer stock it.
Farnell have 2 or 3 available at far greater cost or a carton of a dozen is 
available at many distibutors.
I found it to be very good to in getting the stuff to the right place 
without getting gallons of smelly stuff everywhere.
Anyone know of a source at a reasonable price and without an £8.95 delivery 
charge?

Thanks, Paul

I use 'lard oil' and buy it in 5 litre containers. None of this pongy
stuff.
A smell of bacon frying! After all, this was what the old boys used
way back.

I found some on one of the stalls at the Harrogate show a couple of
years back. Seems to work OK. Can't remember which stand it was
though.

Works fine, they are no longer blue!

The wooden chips were not much good, they bunged up the planer with

Works OK on Fry's Metals

For most things (model size jobs on a Myford)  I use neat cutting oil which 
you can buy from Warco in reasonable quantities.  I use a chemist's squeezy 
wash bottle to apply it (you can get them from kitchen suppliers quite 
easily).  Allows anything from a dropwise application to a parting tool 
through to squirting down deep holes for drilling and is cheap and 
effective.

I also have an aerosol can of “Tap and Drill” fluid from:

Pearson and Williams, Marmion Road, Hove, 01273 733940

I bought it from our workshop at work, where they use it for drilling and 
tapping in stainless steel.  I assume they buy it in quantity, but you could 
try a phone call or any local engineers' supplier.  Great stuff, but the 
Warco oil is usually fine.

J&L sell Rocol fluids in aerosols but they are expensive – worth watching 
their “Advantage” catalogue though.

I also use neat cutting oil (Shell Garia H) and find the hand spray 
containers used for kitchen or window cleaners are ideal; you can even 
get a fine jet inside a hole, and they have twist-off nozzles so they 
don't leak if they fall over. The one I'm using now is a Mr Muscle one, 
but if it eventually perishes, replacement is effectively free.

There's some stuff called CT90 by ActionCan (prepend and append www.
and .com respectively) that works nicely. Also, the MCT range by
Morris of Shrewsbury is good.

ToolStation also sell it in 400ml aerosols for £2.58ea  £5 carriage
for orders under £45. Quite possibly the same stuff as Screwfix's
because the man who runs ToolStation owned Screwfix before selling out
to B&Q.

This question is really where does one get cutting fluids which don't
have fancy prices but work exactly the same.

All my cutting fluids and lubricants come from local outlets if large
firms who are prepared to sell to dirty people in dirtier overalls 5
litres.for cash.

We have two in Geordieland and I always ask if they have ' the
equivalent to **'
I have been doing this since the middle 50's without bother.

Simply Yellow Page---- and go and ask! Today, I have no doubt that in
this economic climate of big firms going 'arse over tit', they will
be even more eager.

Digressing, I went into M&S Money in Newcastle for £1000 in Euros. I
didn't want them but the £ is having a whoopsie with the Footsie. I
came out with the loot but with £40's worth of vouchers for the
Memsahib.

There's  more of the same to come

Happy Days

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all your useful suggestions and happy banter.

FYI - www.toolstation.com are currently offering free express delivery even 
on orders under £45 so obviously being a tight g*t I have ordered from them.

Well, I got it from an engineers' supplier in South London about 20+ 
years ago (and still got over half of it left). Can't remember their 
name at this remove, don't even know if they are still around. Sorry.

Suggest you try Yellow Pages or Google.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that a 50/50 mixture of paraffin
and neatsfoot oil works wonders. Has anybody ever used this?

No idea where one would get neatsfoot oil - local chemist maybe? Or
maybe a saddlers?
