Free from oils, VOCs, and hazardous chemicals, it offers easy cleanup and safe handling, making it the go-to lubricant for professionals and hobbyists tackling drilling, tapping, sawing, and more. ## Description ABOUT Anchorlube is the future of multi-purpose lubricants, offering a new level of tool-life along with the cleanliness of a water/soap based compound. Anchorlube is a semi-paste and performs well on all metals, especially stainless steel and other exotic metals that tend to shorten tool life considerably. USES Anchorlube is the best product available for stainless, high-carbon, high-chrome, cast iron monel, etc. It is also the solution for difficult metalworking operations such as along welds on carbon steel. It can be used for: drilling tapping sawing spot facing counter boring milling seat forming drawing piercing punching and many others Anchorlube may also be used on non-ferrous metals such as brass and aluminum. Anchorlube is used by machinists, electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC technicians and many more. ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE Anchorlube contains NO sulfur, chromates, nitrates, lead, lithium, tin, copper, formaldehyde, chlorine/fluorine, silicon, oil or VOCs of any type; and comes in a distilled water formulation for critical operations. It is a clean lubricant that contains no petroleum and is a water-based soap. STORAGE, HANDLING AND PROPERTIES Smooth, green semi-paste Store at room temperature. Keep capped to avoid clogging.Consistency may vary with temperature. Melting point is between 75 deg. F and 80 deg. F Summer temperatures reduce its viscosity; and while under winter temperatures it is a fairly heavy paste These changes have no effect on use, efficiency, or performance. Review: Good cutting lube without the nasty smoke - Works well, drilled a bunch of holes in 1" 6061 aluminum today and it kept the bit cool and clean. Also worked well when tapping those same holes. Best part is you don't get any nasty smoke when drilling or milling steel like you do with oils or bad stuff like clear cut. Review: Works well for manual tapping, hand drilling of 6061 aluminum+easy cleanup - Seems to work very well for boring (with a hand drill) and tapping/cutting threads into 6061 aluminum blocks. It is kind of messy to work with, but it's water-based (and soluble, no oil), so it's still easier to clean up than an oil-based cutting fluid might be. I found that it didn't really smoke when I was using it, but I was going at low speeds. The bottle says that it's nontoxic according to OSHA standards, which is nice--I would definitely recommend checking whether it's safe to rinse this stuff down the drain, though! My only gripes are that if you're using this undiluted, you go through it pretty fast, (or maybe I was using too much and didn't know what I was doing), and if you don't clean it off your drill bit after using, the dried residue can be kind of annoying to clean off. Caveats of my review: I haven't done any comparisons of it against oil based cutting fluids in terms of the final results, though. It's kind of viscous, so the tailings do get mixed in with it as you work, but I guess the easiest way around that would be to dilute it with distilled water (depending on your application). I have no idea how well this stuff would work on a lathe or a mill. ## Features - Prolongs Tool Life - Water-based - Non-hazardous - Fast, smooth cut - even with exotic metals - Smokeless - with easy clean up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B098MPVTPM | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,192 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #11 in Power Tool Lubricants | | Brand | Anchorlube | | Brand Name | Anchorlube | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 973 Reviews | | Included Components | Anchorlube 8oz Bottle | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 9.5 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 8 fluid ounces | | Lower Temperature Rating | 75 Β°F | | Manufacturer | Anchor Lubricants LLC | | Material | Steel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Package Information | Bottle | | Part Number | 3010 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Cutting oil | | Unit Count | 8 Ounce | | Upper Temperature Rating | 80 Β°F | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Anchorlube - **Item Weight:** 9.5 ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 8 fluid ounces - **Material:** Steel - **Package Information:** Bottle ## Images ![All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rK+kL933L.jpg) ![All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tvpYYUuNL.jpg) ![All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61e2XWtgxOL.jpg) ![All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51s4LMjDDdL.jpg) ![All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512YtSePQ2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it flamable?** A: No it is NOT flamable !!!!!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good cutting lube without the nasty smoke *by A***R on July 14, 2026* Works well, drilled a bunch of holes in 1" 6061 aluminum today and it kept the bit cool and clean.
