Forney 20857 Tap Magic Industrial Pro Cutting Fluid, 4 oz

Smells a lot like the thick black sulphur containing oil we years ago threading pipe... except its thinner and almost clear. I have only used it once but it seems to work very well.

If youre like me and like drilling holes in metal, or more correctly, are often by-curse required to drill holes in metal, well then youre gonna want some lube. And this product here? Its lube. Lube for cutting holes in metal. Notching metal. Cutting metal. Umm. Did I mention drilling holes in metal? So... Get some of this lube and drill them holes. Good luck you individual, you. Good luck.

Works well for both tapping and milling work. KnifeMaker

works

It`s hard to tell if this stuff works or not. But I`m just a novice and am not very knowlegable. But i drilled through what I Had to drill through, so i have no complaints.

Oh oh its magic it works well even with Cheap Titanium nitrate Drill bits and good ones and high speed steel bits and Cobalt bits and Spider blue Torch drill bits which I highly recommend.

A must have for tapping

worked just fine.

Outstanding lubricant for light machining applications.This product works wonders with basically anything involving machining something by hand that needs lubricant. I have used it many times for lubricating taps when cutting and chasing threads, as well as when drilling the initial holes or any time I am drilling through metals. It cools effectively and helps clean any shavings out to prevent bits and taps jamming. The metal container it comes in has a small opening so the oil is easy to control and distribute in small amounts. The sheetmetal construction lets you squeeze the container so only a few drops come out at a time. When using with a Tap: drip some of the oil onto the threads of the tap before inserting into the pilot hole. Make sure to back the tap out occasionally to clear the threads of fresh cut metal shavings or the tap can jam and destroy the freshly cut threads. When using as a Drill lubricant: I always drill metals on the high torque, low speed settings on my hand drill or drill press. I use this oil as a mild coolant in this case as well as a lubricant. I have not tested its maximum cooling capabilities or what its smoke point it, but on both my hand drill and drill press I have never had an issue running at the recommended speeds for steel, aluminum, and various other iron and aluminum alloys. My reference for drill bit RPM is the Irwin Metal Drilling Reference Guide: [...] I have nothing bad to say about this cutting fluid.
