UK Cutting oil

[Mike E.]

It would be great if you could fill a niche market which does not seem to have been tapped for those who are hobbyists, dabble in model engineering, or have small shops. To my frustration, I've found that here in the UK most industrial oils are sold in bulk quantities, such as in 20 litre containers, which is uneconomic for many. As an example, I searched and searched for a source for Tellus 37 or 46 hydraulic fluid to replace the gear oil in my Mill. I finally found it at a tractor dealer, only it was sold in quantities far beyond my needs. The guy behind the counter called one of his customers, explained my situation, and I was able to acquire two litres which was more than I needed. I'm confident a supplier of smaller quantities could do a good business once the word gets out. Food for thought anyway ?
