Slideway Oil ISO VG 68 for CNC Machine Tools

Quick answer

Slideway Oil (ISO 68) (ISO VG 68 · DIN 51502). Specially formulated oil for machine tool slideways. Prevents stick-slip, ensures smooth movement, and reduces wear on precision surfaces.

Slideway oil feeds the guideways of CNC and conventional machine tools through the automatic lubricator, keeping axis movement smooth and accurate.
