Re: Best to use for cleaning red grease off lathe + oil for cutting fluid & way oil?

Charles, I see you use a
lot of WD-40.? Just so you'll know, here is what it consists of:
50% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits, similar to kerosene)
25% liquified petroleum gas, or carbon dioxide (as a propellant)
15% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
10% inert ingredients
So, you could mix 3 parts of Mineral spirits (from the paint
store) and 1 part light lubricating oil, and use it where you
would use WD-40 and at a lot lower cost.
