TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 is a dual purpose oil designed for metalworking as well as machine lubrication.

TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 is intended for light to medium duty machining operations such as drilling, turning, and threading.  The absence of sulfur allows this oil to be used with confidence on steel, copper, and aluminum alloys.  The moderate amount of chlorine in this cutting oil ensures fine finishes and enhanced tool life.

TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 provides excellent cooling properties in order to help maintain dimensional control.  The viscosity and types of oils incorporated in this cutting oil serve to absorb and release heat faster than conventional cutting oils.  In addition, TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 possesses outstanding wetting properties to quickly and evenly cover the work surface, thus preventing hot spots and areas of poor finish.

TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 exhibits exceptionally light color, low odor and low volatility characteristics.  These properties provides a safe, clean, and healthy working environment.  This cutting oil is nonhazardous according to current OSHA and EPA regulations.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • Because TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 contains no sulfur, it can be used with confidence on steel, copper, and aluminum alloys. Sulfur-active cutting oils can cause staining or corrosive attack on copper-based and aluminum materials, so the sulfur-free formula is an important distinction for shops working with those metals.

  • This oil is designed for light to medium duty operations including drilling, turning, and threading. It is not formulated for heavy-duty cutting applications such as broaching or gear hobbing, where a heavier-bodied, higher-sulfur oil is typically required.

  • TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 is explicitly described as a dual-purpose oil, meaning it is suitable for both metalworking operations and general machine lubrication, making it a practical choice for shops that want to consolidate fluid inventory.

  • The moderate chlorine content is included to provide extreme-pressure (EP) performance, which promotes fine surface finishes and extends tool life during cutting operations. If you work with titanium or are required to use chlorine-free fluids for specific aerospace or food-grade applications, you should verify that chlorinated oils are permitted before use.

  • A viscosity of 150 SUS at 100°F places this oil in a light-to-medium weight range, meaning it flows readily enough to quickly wet the cutting zone and dissipate heat, which is what enables the dimensional control and hot-spot prevention the product is designed to deliver. Heavier viscosity oils would be used for more severe cutting operations where film strength is prioritized over cooling.

  • TRUEGARD Cutting Oil 1230-15 features low odor, low volatility, and a flash point of 350°F, reducing inhalation and fire risks during normal machining operations. It is also classified as nonhazardous under current OSHA and EPA regulations, which simplifies handling, storage, and disposal requirements.
