👉 The Bench Fluid, also known as Bench Lubricant or Bench Grease, is a specialized lubricant designed specifically for use on mechanical bench surfaces such as lathes, milling machines, and other precision machining tools. It is formulated to provide long-lasting lubrication, reducing friction and wear between the moving parts of these machines and the workpieces. Composed primarily of a base oil (often mineral-based or synthetic) combined with thickeners, additives, and sometimes anti-wear agents, Bench Fluid ensures smooth operation, minimizes heat generation, and extends the life of both the tooling and the work surface. This specialized lubricant is crucial for maintaining the precision and efficiency of machining operations, particularly in high-speed and high-precision applications.
