Okay so about quenching oils...
You have the Parks 50 which you can get in 5 gallon containers. I think it runs about $120.
Just mentioned was Brownells Tough Quench @ $60 per gallon. This is the first I've heard of this oil.
And I see a Citgo Quenchol oil available at Jantz for $50 per gallon or $150 for 5 gallons.
Using O-1 and lets say 1095, is one of these oils appreciably better than Canola Oil? I realize at least with 1095 most agree it (Canola) is on the very edge of being able to quench quickly enough.
What is the difference between the others? Is on "best" for 1095 vs. O1 or would one work just as well for either steel? And what about the life of the oil. How many quenches can one expect from a gallon of oil?
Don't know if I want to pay shipping on 5 gallons of oil if I can get some long life out of one gallon and it is appreciably better than Canola oil... Just have no experience with it all.
