General Note:
Coolants are used for heavy-duty lathe operations and production turning. Oil-water
emulsions and synthetic cutting fluids are the most common for typical lathe operations. Sulferized oils
often are used for threading. For small projects, spot lubrications can be done with an oil can or brush, or
omitted completely.
