Slideway Oil ISO 68
Professional Grade Machine Tool Way Lubricant
Our Slideway Oil ISO 68 is a premium quality machine tool lubricant specifically engineered for the lubrication of slides, tables, and feed mechanisms. Blended in the UK using high-viscosity index virgin base oils, it features a sophisticated additive package including extreme pressure (EP) agents and specialized tackifiers. These ensure the oil adheres firmly to vertical and horizontal surfaces, preventing "stick-slip" motion and ensuring the highest level of machining precision.
Key Features
- ✔ Eliminates stick-slip and jerky movement
- ✔ High tackiness prevents oil wash-off
- ✔ Excellent demulsibility with cutting fluids
- ✔ Protects against rust and corrosion
- ✔ UK Blended from virgin base oils

Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement lubricant, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for machine tool protection and performance.
How do I know if it is compatible?
We recommend checking your machine manual for the required ISO grade. If it specifies ISO 68 Slideway or Way Oil, or any of the cross-references listed above (like Vactra 2 or Tonna 68), this is the correct choice.
Can I use this for vertical slides?
While ISO 68 is primarily used for horizontal slides on small to medium machines, it contains high-adhesion tackifiers that allow it to be used in some vertical applications. However, for heavy-duty vertical slides, an ISO 220 grade is often recommended.
