Woodworking Lubricants

Lubie® #5

A concentrated waterbased high-grade synthetic lubricant designed to be diluted with water. Lubie® #5 is formulated to provide maximum lubrication at the babbit/steel interface or circular guided gang saws. Additionally, Lubie® #5 cools and retards resin build-up along with providing outstanding rust and corrosion protection.

Lubie® #5 is commonly used as a low cost lubricant, coolant and cleaner on band saws and edgers. When diluted 5:1 with water it provides similar performance to diesel fuel at the same cost per shift and eliminates the fire hazard, odor, personal safety and environmental problems of diesel fuel.

  • Lubie® #5 is non flammable, non toxic and biodegradable.
  • It does not contain any chemicals listed in SARA Title III, Section 313 or in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.
  • Lubie® #5 does not contain silicones and will not stain or discolor wood.

Band saws find Lubie® #5 is most effectively applied through Lubie® 900 spray systems. Lubie® #5 can be used in wick or drip lubrication systems.
