Forney 20857 Tap Magic Industrial Pro Cutting Fluid, 4 oz

This will improve your cutting edge.

Good product!

Tap magic has been around for ever. Its always been my go to lubricant for tapping.

I dont have a machine shop, but do drill metal quite often by hand and with a drill press. Had a can of some very old stuff that worked, but this is better. My only complaint is that it is like water rather than the easier to use thick oil consistency of the old brand. Sort of pours of the spout and I often use more than what is needed. I think a longer spout would help to get a little into a partially drilled hole. Maybe I will look into some sort of oiler with a long flexible spout and a precision squirter thing. Still, it makes drilling easier and saves so many bit resharpenings. It is recommended.

I’ve always just leaned on the drill press and smoked my way through metal and heavy plastics. A few “drops” of this stuff is like you’ve sharpened your drill bits AND your drill bit don’t have a permanent purple and blue finish. They last MUCH longer between sharpening

Better than any other oil I have used for drilling and cutting threads by hand. Try it. The lack of stars is because Amazon is asking the wrong questions; Example, Amazon asks if it is easy to clean, of course not no oil is easy to clean.

Did not come with cap

Seems to be a good lubricant, but I stored it sideways with the cap on and it seemed to be fine at first but it just slowly leaked into my portable toolbox and made a mess. Can’t really store it upright because when I move the toolbox it tilts because it rolls on two wheels.

Tap Magic is magic

I needed to tap several hundred holes in aluminum extrusions. This stuff really makes a difference. I have also since used it in hardened steel as well.
