Cutting & Grinding Oil for Shop and Garage Metalwork
Heat and friction are what dull drill bits, chip taps and leave ragged edges on cut tubing. A good cutting oil keeps the cutting edge cool and lubricated so the tool cuts instead of rubbing. Our professional-grade cutting and grinding oil is made for drilling, tapping, sawing, grinding and general machining, and it works just as well on a home garage bench as it does in a production shop.
Why use cutting oil
- Longer tool life: less heat at the edge means bits, taps and blades stay sharp longer.
- Cleaner cuts and threads: reduced friction leaves smoother finishes and fewer burrs.
- Less galling: helps prevent material from welding to the tool on steel and stainless.
- Easy application: brush-top application puts oil exactly where you need it.
Common uses
Tapping threads in brackets and frames, drilling mounting holes, cutting tubing and bar stock, and grinding or deburring after a cut. It pairs well with our brake line tools when you are fabricating mounts or cleaning up tubing ends before flaring.
Which size to choose
The 1-pint size suits occasional DIY work and a toolbox. The 1-gallon jug is the better value for shops that drill and tap every day.
