Where is a good source to pick up way oil and non-detergent oils for the lathes in smaller quantities? I would rather not have five gallon pails laying around.

Cheers

I use 20 weight non detergent automotive motor oil. Available in 1 liter bottles from Canadian tire.

I just bought the 5gal pails. It's not the best thing but I'm not worried about running out, I'm sure you could get 4 others to go in with you to get a jug and split it up. If I recall the vactra 2 and dte46 (for the gear head on my previous lathe) was about 200 for a 5gal of each from mobil1.

I would love to take you up on the generous offer but I'm in BC!

P.S. Very nice reel for your avatar!
