Stewmac sells this lubricant for cutting inlay. Does anyone know what it's made from? Anybody use anything else?

Thanks!

I have used the Pro-Cut stuff from stew-Mac and it works very well. It really
helps on making smooth tight cuts. It looks a lot like a beeswax-based
product but that's just a guess.
I have also used plain old paraffin wax but the pro-cut works much better.   
You only need a tiny bit per inlay so that tub should last a good long time.
If you load too much on your saw it will tend to clog the teeth at the
beginning of your cut, but once it gets a little warn and worked in it works
great. Also, if you load too much it can cause your blade to slip out of the
saw, no damage done, but it's annoying!
