Review: Great lube - This drilling lube works great ! Does NOT leave an oily residue after wiping off steel. Stays where you put it (even with a little thinning) Do yourself a favor and buy some plastic syringes, like 60ml size to precisely put this material right on the drilling area. Will rust steel slightly if left on area after drilling (ask me how I know)
Review: Good cutting lube without the nasty smoke - Works well, drilled a bunch of holes in 1" 6061 aluminum today and it kept the bit cool and clean. Also worked well when tapping those same holes. Best part is you don't get any nasty smoke when drilling or milling steel like you do with oils or bad stuff like clear cut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT PAID FOR
*by 3***O on July 18, 2024*

I'm not a cool kid on any tube nor any block and I have never and will never take anything for any of my reviews, they are always 100% honest and legit. You'ld be amazed at some of my 1 star reviews that never get published. Me thinks the sellers approve the reviews not independent amazonians. But what do I know? So I'm just a tinkerer. Always throwing crap together that just works or fixin stuff. So from that perspective, this stuff is the shiznitz. I have all kinds of cutting oil, all kinds of tap magic, including the kind for aluminum. And sometimes nothing at all, e.g. working with copper, copper is gummy, in a league of it's own, I just do it dry and use forming taps. Just kinda push it out of the way. Much prefer zinc, and red or yellow brass. My favorite tap magic for steels has been the extra thick. Not anymore. Forget the hype, just get some and try it. I like how it clings. Don't water it down, let it cling. Clings like tap magic extra thick, even better. I was having a difficult time taping a certain piece of stainless steel. I could drill it just fine with just some normal tap magic or extra thick, my taps (multiple) weren't cutting it. Literally. Including two new ones I just bought from mcmaster carr (my heros) so they are good, very good. I don't think this particular stainless was good mind you, probably just the opposite. Not like other stainless I have drilled and tapped. Good taps just didn't like to cut it dry or with tap magic. Then I tried this stuff. WOW what a diference. Perfect 1/4 NPT taped hole. So piece was locked in a vice in the micromark, drilled the hole, slow speed and feed great big long corkscrew shaving then chucked the tap for absolute perfect alignment, started tap by hand turning the chuck then took out of mill vice and used T handle and bench vise. Done that a bunch of times with other stuff and other size holes and never a problem. Purr Fect every time. Only difference was this particular stainless steel item. :shruggs shoulders This water based goop simply worked when tap magic didn't. I haven't tried it on other materials I just know it worked on this air quote 304 made in China part when others didn't.
