Park Tool Cutting Fluid

This fluid is formulated specifically for machining tasks where you are cutting, tapping, facing, or reaming metal components. It helps reduce friction and heat buildup, which protects your tools and ensures cleaner cuts on materials like aluminum, steel, and titanium.

Yes, it is compatible with aluminum, steel, and titanium. However, because it is a chemical fluid, you should always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first—especially if you are working near painted or finished surfaces—to ensure there is no adverse reaction.

Standard bike lubricants are designed to reduce friction between moving parts, whereas cutting fluid is engineered to withstand the extreme heat and pressure generated during metal machining. Using the correct fluid prevents your cutting tools from dulling prematurely and helps you achieve a much smoother, more precise finish.

The soy-based composition is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based cutting oils. It offers effective lubrication and cooling performance without the harsh chemical profile, making it a safer and more sustainable choice for your home workshop.

Yes, the bottle features a flip-top spout that allows for precise, controlled application. This design helps you target the exact spot where the tool meets the metal, which minimizes waste and keeps your workspace cleaner.
