I would like to get a gallon or two for myself. I would be willing to
try and come up with some gallon containers and split the cost of a 5
gallon container of the stuff if anyone is interested in a gallon or
two. I think it probably runs about $110 to $120 for five gallons
(smallest quantitiy) not including shipping.   I realize this is very
expensive for way oil, but once you have tried Royal Purple lubricants
I think you will be willing to pay the extra. I do not use anything
thing else for any lubricant requirements (save my bar chain oil and
my 2-stroke oil).  Information on their industrial product line (this
oil falls into that category) can be seen at
http://www.royalpurple.com/
Email me off-line if this sounds like something you want to try with
me.

Personally I am very leery of "Way Oil"..Especially on home shop type machines.
Understand that this stuff is developed and formulated for Industrial machines,
working under arduous, heavily loaded conditions THAT ARE DESIGNED ESPECIALLY TO
USE IT.
By that I mean that their ways are as fully protected from chips, scale and dust
as possible..by mechanical design and layout.
Secondly, they use way protectors and wipers that cost more to replace than most
of us would consider paying for a complete work shop of machines.
Thirdly they are used with timed or constant flow lube systems designed to
flush, filter and recirculate way oil constantly.
Lastly, those machines, expensive as they are, after a short life of careful,
scheduled maintenance, are..in the final analysis...DISPOSABLE!!  Like your hard
earned machines RIGHT??
In other words..every thing is done to prevent contamination of the lube..and
prevent that contaminated lube from being carried UNDER the way wipers and into
the (Expensive) guts of the machine.
Now consider your precious HS Mill or Lathe.
Sure, especially on a mill, the ways are out of sight and SOMEWHAT protected
from flying debris.  But, remember the last job you did on cast iron..Or scaly,
hot rolled steel? Boy how the dust flew..took weeks to rid the shop of it didn't
it?
Well I got bad news for you...some of it is still there, trapped in that lovely
sticky, flypaper-like WAY OIL that does such a good job of sticking to your ways
EVEN WHEN those half-assed, half worn wipers pass over it..thats what its
supposed to do RIGHT??
Wrong,  That sticky paste is the reason machine tool rebuilders have a
business..that and the people who use an air gun to "clean down" their
machines.  (A whole other subject!!)
So what should the HSM use? what do *I* use?
SCRUPULOUS CLEANLINESS..I wipe the ways on my lathe EVERY time I traverse the
saddle any distance and RE-OIL with a squirt of 10W MOTOR OIL...Yeah the stuff
with DETERGENTS in it!!  Why? Because I WANT all that sh*t held in suspension
and flushed out where I can wipe it off in a couple of minutes.  How do I know
my ways get lubed UNDER the carriage?  Because the stuff gets past the
rinky-dink wipers that, even I, only replace once or twice a year.
Controversial?  Obsessive/compulsive? Not if you value, enjoy and respect, the
knife edge precision I have slowly built up in my machinery.. I have reground,
rescraped and rebuilt MY kit, for the last time in MY lifetime!
I have no place for "way oil" in my shop!!
Robert Bastow..With asbestos knickers in place!! 8^)
The custom model shops and tool rooms I'm familair with use Hardinge lathes
pretty much the same way we do.  They all use Mobil Vactra way oil, and 
that's what I use.  It's available in small quantities from some 
suppliers, and it works very nicely.  Just sticky enough to stay put, but 
without gumming things up or attracting chips excessively.  I wipe things 
down when I'm done and try to keep things clean, but I also replaced the 
way wipes on my machines so that they work.  If you think you have a 
better answer, you are welcome to your opinion.  I'll stick with what the 
pros do.

Sorry, Robert.	I have an old No.2 Garvin turret that I rebuilt, and tried
using the motor oils in the ram of the turret, which definately has no wipers
and is totally exposed for part of it's travel.  The only thing that even
comes close to way oil in this machine, and my No.1 W&S, is 90wt gear oil. 
Even here, the way oil seems to hang in and work better for longer.  In the
year and a half since the rebuild, I have not been able to determine any wear
in either the vertical or horizontal displacement of the ram.  It is still on
center and still running true to the spindle.  As both machines are old,
probably over 100 years now, one would expect to see something, but I find
nothing.  The saddle, ramslide, and ways are all soft, nothing is hardened. 
The oil system consists of a pump oiler and a rag, and when the ram starts
getting stiff, oil it again.
Just my experiences with these two machines, all of the others I use a light
motor oil or hydraulic wiped on, as the oilers in a Taiwan machine are ususlly
seated to the point that you can't get any oil past the stop ball.  Meaning
smashed in assembly.

Would it be stretching you a little too much perhaps, to ask you; what is the

way oil in the Home shop as opposed to its many, perfectly correct uses in
industry.

>Personally I am very leery of "Way Oil"..Especially on home shop type machines.
  For the most part, I agree.  When I'm looking at an old machine, I
love to see heavy, caked-on grease on the castings and any non-moving
part; protects the finish.  On a moving part, though, I like to see it
clean.  Think of a hydraulic cylinder; nice and greasy on the outside,
but that piston shaft should be *dead* shiny.  No heavy grease, and no
'bits and pieces' on it.
  If you're *storing* the machine, then grease up the ways.  If you're
*using* it, then wipe them down with acetone and use a silicone or
something thin that won't attract chips.
  For woodworking machines you can usually get away with using chain
lube, or something sticky as long as the wipers are good, but I've
seen many table saws put temporarily out of comission by having the
adjusting screws coated with grease and subsequently, by use, coated
with sawdust.

Machine tool carriages typically operate on slideways under high loads
and slow speeds. The carriages must be able to start in motion quickly
and smoothly and then continue in motion at a constant speed.
Excessive frictional resistance at start-up compared to frictional
resistance while in motion can cause undesirable erratic or jumpy
motion which is commonly referred to as machine tool chatter or
stick-slip. Effective way oils must have a low stick-slip value
(static/kinetic coefficient of friction ratio) to prevent stick-slip
problems. Way oils must also possess tackiness to prevent run-off of
the lubricant, particularly on vertical ways. Extreme pressure
properties are also required to prevent scoring of slideways and
guides.
Way Lubricant 68 and 100 are recommended for most machine tools with
horizontal slideways and for light to moderate applications. Way
Lubricant 150 can be used with horizontal and vertical slideways,
depending on the application and parameters. Way Lubricant 220 is
recommended for more severe applications and machines with vertical
slideways.
 Way Lubricant products are blended from refined paraffin base stocks
and have been fortified with additives to impart excellent lubricity
and extreme pressure properties. The high lubricity of Way Lubricants
helps reduce friction and drag which can cause stick-slip problems and
machine tool carriage chatter. Applications involving heavily loaded
ways benefit from the extreme pressure properties of the fluid. The
Way Lubricant series exhibit high film strength which allows build-up
of a thick oil film that enables accurate table positioning and
prevents wear of system components. Way Lubricants contain a special
tackifier which prevents the fluid from draining away from lubricated
surfaces and minimizes squeeze out of the lubricant on heavily loaded
ways. The tackiness agent also helps to prevent the fluid from being
washed away by emulsifiable cutting fluids. Way Lubricants also
contain rust and corrosion inhibitors for the protection of machine
parts. In addition, the products offer good water separating
properties, are resistant to foaming, and are thermally and
oxidatively stable in service.
Benefits
In service Way Lubricants provide:
Excellent stick-slip characteristics for smooth, chatter-free
operation 
Good extreme pressure and anti-wear properties 
Great adhesiveness 
Good corrosion protection 
Reduced down time

Like Bridgeport and Southbend, read the owners guide they recommend
way oil.

I never replaced way protectors, I have however retrofitted them to
tools that did not have them.  Gortite bellows or telescoping metal
way covers are not that expensive.

Never seen a machine or machining center recirculate or use constant
flow for way oil.  Some grinders use constant flow , filtered oil in
the hydraulic systems, and in the spindle, in oil film bearings, but
spindle oil is very thin, like sewing machine oil.  Timed lube is used
to take the need from the operator to stop production and lube his
machine.

That's why there are no used machines available...these guys buy them
and throw them away after a couple of years!  
I'll tell the guys that the Brown&Sharpe screw machines they're using
should have been thrown away in the '60's.
Some of them were built in the '40's.

I thought the machines were "DISPOSABLE!!"
Actually, if there were no oil, then the contaminates could develop
enough friction to damage the parts.  With oil, the grit simply slides
over the ways.

Seriously, guys like Mr. Bastow,  are set in their ways, and
fortunately, are old enough to retire and let some science and
technology into the shop.  There are so many people in metalworking
stuck in the past and resenting any new idea that comes along.  Mr.
Bastow himself will tell you how long he worked as a machinist, and
how he went through a long and difficult apprenticeship.  He will not,
however say which college his degree is from, nor where his views are
referenced in technical literature.  These fine old fellows are great
for stories of "way back when", but I encourage everyone to read the
trade literature, owners manuals, and new book on the subject.
Thanks, Mr. Barstow, for a good laugh, and keep wiping those ways,
hopefully whoever you will your machines to will keep them as
pristine.

Well ther is way oil and there is way oil. The Mobil product that was
recomended by the maker of my lathe is about the consistancy of 10 wt
motor oil and so far it hasn't gummed up or attracted any more chips/dust
than the cutting oil I drown it in. I think cleaning the machine after
using is the secret.

Contrary to Robert Bastrow's guess, the "argument" is not yet decided
"for the group", nor is it likely to ever be.  
And, more importantly, he does not speak for the group, only himself. 
Your post was a positive contribution to the discussion at hand, don't
go away thinking badly of the group.

I liked it Kurt, thought it a good play on words.
Robert seems to be a bit touchy these days, may wear off , we'll see.
Life's too short to bitch about these things.

PLONK!! ;^) And I mean that only HALF seriously Jens!!
You have in the past earned my respect..but comments like that make me wonder if
you are part of the solution..or by wimpy default, becoming part of the
problem!!
It is easy to say "lighten up" when you are a bystander, not subject to
PERSONAL atack and abuse every time you come up with a bit of helpful advise,
hard earned experience
Seriously Jens, It seems like every time anyone comes up with any original
thought around here, he publishes with the certain knowledge that the first
reaction from "The Intelligentsia" is to imply you are a mental defective, 
uneducated lying, thieving, old fart!!
I remember, not too long ago, when this was a fun place to be and, when the tone
deteriated too far there were certain fair minded people that could be relied on
to restore sanity.
You USED to be one of those people Jens!

I agree.

I agree here, also. Thanks for having to courage to speak up !!!
I appreciate it.
I enjoy reading what Robert Bastrow has to say but it is not appropriate to
forbid discussing SSRI. I hope that Robert can understand this or I'm going to
be "Plonked". If those are the "rules" I can live with the "Plonking".
Warren and several others were kind enough to e-mail me with information
about Serotonin-Selective Reuptake Inhibitors. The information was greatly
appreciated and very helpful. I also have a much better understanding of the
difference between Zanex and the SSRI drugs like Paxil and Prozac.
Warren, I hope you stick around. Same goes for Robert even with a "Plonking"
As an apprentice tool maker, I quickly learned that there was more then one
"correct" way to machine a part !
jon
That is my thought too. Execpt I agree that for cleaning the machine is what I
do. When I run a machine and I start to see the oil on the ways discolor. Then
I clean it.
 Machines in the work place wear out prematurely because most operators will
not oil them at all. I know I have seen it. I buy the reccomended oil for the
machine and use it.

Stop this foolish bickering! We're here because of our mutual love of
machining, metalworking, and ingenious design. We solve problems, not
start them.
As my old friend Willy Shakespeare said, "What's in a name? A rose by
any other would smell as sweet." If Robert chooses to memorialize Tubal
Cain in his e-mail address, so be it. And if Kurt takes offense at his
presumptuousness, so be it.
Methinks this thread has taken on the stink of rancid cutting oil and
that we should have no more of it.

Robert, you are mistaken, I never had a protracted conversation with you on
your signiature.  Might have been another Kurt.  Please enlighten me on my
"slurs" and "lies", I am most interested.  Deja-News is ready and waiting.
In the meantime, I will avoid name-calling (such as Idiot with a capital
"I").

What remark?  I made no remarks.  Maybe the aluminum is fogging my brain.
Please remind me.

Secondly, though *I* know my motives were pure in adopting the name of tubalcain
"In memorium" I can well see how others might misconstrue..even resent this. 
After all Tubal Cain is a legend to a lot of us, and even if I had aspirations
to fill his shoes (which I do NOT)..they are certainly too big for me.
So this is the last post from tubal...@hotmail.com.  Sorry you don't get rid
of ME that easily though.  My new address will be:
tee...@Hotmail.com
If anyone has any objections to THAT please let me know.
Thanks,

I'm sure you will agree with me Robert, that a certain amount of bickering is
an absolute must to add spice to the process of bringing out all the pro's
and con's on any given subject.  Otherwise it's like tripe without mustard,
according to one of the ancient romans, "Insipid".

Up to you, of course; but I think it's a pity. I liked the way you 
paid tribute to a great teacher and enthusiast.
FWIW, you were of course only doing what The Real Tubal Cain had done 
before you - he took the name of a character from the Bible and used 
it as a nom de plume.
(And before anybody accuses me of it, I'm not trying to pass myself 
off as a *real* lemming...)
I get the same thing!  Someone will ask me " How about ( Insert the name
of some large city ), last night. I reply " Just another big dirty city ".
:)
I could care less which team wins a sporting event!  I only watch the
newshour on TV, and a couple of Canadian comedy/satire shows.
