Hello All,
A few months ago at an estate sale I bought two unopened bottles of Tapfree tapping fluid. $1 each. These are older bottles but I'm not sure how old. The bottle says its for tapping, drilling and reaming of any metal except aluminum. It also says "NOT A CUTTING OIL". My question is, how can it be for drilling metals but not for cutting them? What happens if I use it for cutting? Will it work? Was this just marketing to get you to buy their cutting oils?
Also, I have no experience with this product. Is this considered a good product? Thanks
