I have been using a small bottle of Cool Tool and for my tapping needs and it works great. I may try some Anchor Lube. I would like to have the ability to mix with water as a water soluble oil fro drilling.

No oil in it...it is a soap based product.

Anchor lube seems to work OK for tapping larger holes, but hangs on to the swarf in smaller holes, like 4-40. It has it's place, but in small holes I think it is hopeless.
