Park Tool Cutting Fluid

This fluid is formulated for machining tasks where you are removing material, specifically cutting, tapping, facing, and reaming bicycle frames. It helps lubricate the tool and the workpiece to ensure clean, precise results.

Yes, it is compatible with aluminum, steel, and titanium frames. It is a versatile choice for most standard frame materials found in modern cycling.

While the soy-based formula is generally safe, some paint finishes can be sensitive to oils and greases. We always recommend testing the fluid on a small, inconspicuous area of the frame before applying it to visible surfaces.

Standard bike lubricants are designed to reduce friction in moving parts, whereas cutting fluid is engineered to handle the high heat and pressure generated during machining processes. Using the correct fluid significantly extends the life of your expensive cutting tools and results in a smoother, more accurate cut.

Yes, it features an environmentally friendly, soy-based formula, making it a more sustainable option compared to traditional petroleum-based cutting oils.
