McMaster has quenching oil. Like all things mcmaster no brands are given (seriously - would it kill you guys to put down the brand name?! /end rant)

The MSDS says the brand is quenchfast

There is 11 second, and 28 second oils. For me, If I order this, its at my house in about 24 hours. From where I stand, I figure its better than canola oil... so either oil HAS to give better results right?

I have had decent results with canola oil, but recently ran into a problem:

I was just reading this archived thread :

It starts in 2010, and ends in 2014.

I just recieved the 1095 pieces from David and have done the tests on them. The first thing I did was to hand sand them(that way I wouldn't creat any heat) to 800 on both sides. then I ran some tests on my test plate 7 times to make sure everything was seated and working properly on my machine. The last two tests on the test block read exactly what the block was rated for. I then marked each piece at 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", & 1" from the bottom and tested
each piece at those marks. when I tested each mark I tried to be very close on the time I took with the preliminary test fource and the main test fource. I believe the results are pretty accurate. I'm going to try 16939putting a picture here
and hope you can see what I did.
Just in case you can't read the HRC results off the picture here they are from left to right and bottom up. 3/16 1095 plate =65.5,66.3,66,& 65.6. 5/32" 1095 plate=65.7,65.7/65.3, & 65.8. 1/8" 1095 plate=
65.3,66.5,66.5, & 66.6. Also on my machine I'm reading a dial indicator and so the tenths of a point are close guesses.
It looks to me like you got some pretty good results David.

I was reading this as you posted your success with it. So it seems the stuff works with 1095. Others have said it isn't as good with O1 as canola oil.
