Overview

Anchorlube is the next generation of multipurpose metalworking lubricants. This water-based semi-paste blends cleanliness with performance, delivering a dependable option that minimizes oily residue while supporting a range of operations. Designed to stand up to stainless steel and other demanding metals, it offers a versatile solution for drilling, tapping, sawing, and more without reliance on oil-based fluids.

Crafted as a distilled-water formulation, Anchorlube aims to provide a balanced glide, helping chips flow smoothly and tools stay sharper longer. While the exact results depend on your setup, many users find that the product supports steady feeds and consistent cuts across various metals, including exotic alloys and high-chrome steels.

Key benefits

  • Prolongs tool life by offering steady lubrication and cooling during cutting, tapping, and drilling.
  • Water-based and non-hazardous, with no petroleum or VOCs in the formulation.
  • Fast, smooth cuts, even on challenging metals like stainless steel and high-chrome alloys.

Best uses and applications

  • Drilling, tapping, sawing, spot facing, counterboring, milling, seat forming, drawing, piercing, and punching.
  • Effective on stainless steel, high-carbon steel, cast iron, Monel, and other difficult metals.
  • Also suitable for non-ferrous metals such as brass and aluminum in certain operations.

Environment and safety

This product contains no sulfur, chromates, nitrates, lead, lithium, tin, copper, formaldehyde, chlorine/fluorine, silicon, or VOCs. The clean, water-based formula reduces greasy residue and simplifies cleanup after machining tasks.

Storage, handling, and performance notes

Store at room temperature in a capped container to prevent clogging. Expect slight variations in consistency with temperature changes: it may soften in warmer conditions and become a heavier paste in cold conditions. These changes do not affect use or performance.
