Cool thanks. I wonder if I could put it in one of those Harbor Freight spray cans that you load your own mixture in and pressurize it with air? I have one but never used it.

True, I only use it because I've already got it made up for the other machine. I use it on the band saw too (a 1 gallon jug goes a LONG way when you mix it with water). -- Jerry Durand, Durand

I see you already have some opinions, so one more won't kill you. Kerosene is good for the initial cleanup. Somebody mentioned some use gas which, for obvious reasons, should NEVER be used for such

Kerosene (paraffin in the UK) or WD-40 both work well. I use the soluble cutting oil I already had for the milling machine, only use it when I feel it needs it. For tapping I use Tap Magic. I use

I have read people using mineral spirits and even gas. For cutting oil on AL.. I use WD-40 most of the time.. I would also suggest picking up some PVC pipe of different wall thickness.. very forgiving

If you are in the US, odorless paint thinner or wd 40 will work as solvents for the red goop. For preventing rust, a spray product called Boeshield, available at boating and marine shops, works

I found kerosene did a fine job of removing the red grease. It is inexpensive and leaves just a slight oily surface, discouraging rust. When you ask what cutting oils to use, it is like beginning a

What is best to use for me to clean all of the red grease off of my new 7x12 mini-lathe? Also what affordable cutting oils does everyone use for various metals? I am starting with some 6061 Aluminum

I'm looking for a plan for a spindle depth stop. Can anyone point to a site that may have one posted. Gerry
