Does anyone know where I can order an inexpensive 5 gallon bucket of mineral oil (or other quantity)? It's for lubricating our slab saw. Thanks.

Aww man, wish I had asked a few days ago! The mineral oil I ordered ended up costing a lot more.

Problem is that it is $120 for 5 gallons.

Problem is that it is $120 for 5 gallons. And it’s worth it. Much better at keeping the blade cool than the animal laxatives. HP oil is even better. Slabs take no time to dry off and even when left in the saw they don’t stay heavily oiled like the laxative oil. Thin mineral is the best.

If you get to the point you can not tolerate the orange smell, most people I know can't. The same company makes another brand called Bear Naked Oil. No added fragrances.

Do not like the orange smell. It lingers. HP oil seems thinner and no stinky, it’s just a little bit more expensive
