General Note: Cutting fluids 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.
