The METALpro 1BG BlueGuard Tooling Lubricant is an advanced, oil-based formula engineered to protect punch and dies, shear blades, and other tooling during heavy metal-to-metal contact. Supplied in a 1-gallon container, this versatile fluid creates a high-strength lubricating film that adheres to metal surfaces, significantly reducing heat generation and operating temperatures.

Designed to lower overall tooling spend, BlueGuard extends the life of consumables while decreasing the tonnage and torque required for tough metal fabrication tasks. Its multipurpose formulation eliminates the need for multiple specialized lubricants by working effectively across punching, shearing, notching, tapping, drilling, and forming operations.

BlueGuard improves the shop environment with a pleasant cherry scent that replaces the harsh chemical odors common in traditional industrial cutting fluids. The low-residue mixture clings to tooling for longer-lasting lubrication but wipes off easily after use, ensuring cleaner cuts and minimizing post-operation cleanup. Please note that while it can be applied directly to saw or cutting blades, BlueGuard is not a substitute for flood-style machining, sawing, or grinding fluids.
