Forney 20858 Cutting Fluid, Industrial Pro Tap Magic, 16-Ounces

Great

I remember Tap Magic from 35 years ago when I was working my way through college. Since then my life moved away from machining and the like. However, I've been getting back into metal working as a hobby. Cutting fluid is important for keeping your tools sharp, I'm using it on my band saw blades and it works well. If I were to be reborn as a cutting fluid, I would want to be Tap Magic. I'm not sure who would rate the scent though, it's not like I'm going to use it as cologne. But I rated it anyway, it brings back memories of being a poor college student and living off of a single pizza for three days. Back when you had dreams of your bright future, so I guess that makes it a nice scent.

A good product doing what it is supposed to do, but it is weird that the bottle got not led or cover, just the cone and when open it stays open

How did I use taps and dies as long as I did without using this stuff? It makes tapping much faster and smoother. I even use it while boring metal with a lathe occasionally and it doesn't disappoint there either. It smells like dirty feet and fish that have been blended together and then puked on by someone who just ate a pound of a particularly pungent cheese, but I don't really care. It also seems to last forever. I have been using it basically every day for the past 3 months and it is still 95% full. Much like everyone else has said, you will feel like an idiot for not using it your whole life after you try it. You will never want to tap without it again. Just don't expect it to smell like a spring day unless the spring day you are thinking about takes place in a fish market that doubles as a sewer.

metal working , very good

i broke a tap off in the top of my manifold and that's where my fuel rail goes , i drilled on it for 4 hours and was not getting anywhere just using wd 40 and all i did was just burn up 4 drill bits so i ordered this stuff and it took all of about 5 minutes and i got it drilled right out did not damage the bit at all so for me and my money it was well worth the price , get it use it it works

There's always something better around the bend but I've kept a bottle of Magic Tap at every tool station for about 40 years...it works!

This is a must have for anyone that is going to drill any metal, tap it, or cut it. This is by far the best. If u want your bits or blades to last for a long time this is the stuff. I put it on my sawzaw blades and it works amazing
