So, I am going to be ordering some quench oil soon (have been using canola), and I am debating getting parks 50, or the 11 second mcmaster oil. I know there are certain steels that would do better with the P 50, but my main steels are 52100, 80crv2, and W2, but also started using 1095. I know the latter 2 and especially the 1095 would do best in P50, but i saw some tests people did with 1095 and the mcmaster oil getting around 65-66 as quenched and now I'm kind of conflicted whether the P50 is worth it since 1095 is more of an occasional steel for me... the W2 i have been getting decent results with the canola though.
What is everyone here's experiences in situations like this? i can get 5gal shipped of the mcmaster for about 100, but it looks like it will be much more for even a smaller amount of P50
