A MUST have "cutting oil" to have in your garage. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I may have posted this before, but it just blows me away every time I use it and have to scream from the roof tops GET SOME OF THIS!

This stuff is for tapping, but it works for drilling and even sawing metal with a hack saw! I cut a bunch of metal tonight, eighth inch angle iron and channel iron. Putting a drip of this oil on the cut then proceeding cutting with the hand hack saw and it goes from cutting metal to cutting a friggin piece of balsa wood! OMG what a difference! Drilling, the drill goes through the metal like it's a pencil through a piece of paper!

Honestly buy some of this stuff!

Thanks for the tip. Any idea where we can buy it locally?

That's an old can. And the product is effective. It's probably banned by the EPA.

You can find on Amazon. Great for any cutting project .

I use 3 in 1 or air tool oil, any light oil works.

the old tap magic with the tricolor in it is the best stuff....epa killed that the newer stuff works ok but not as good as the old

every time I use tap magic with a drill bit and get hit in the face with the plumb of smoke I think I get a little cancer. It stinks bad and burns a little.

But it works amazing.

I buy it from amazon.

This is true, having a fan going is a good idea.

I inhale it deeply; that way at least I have an excuse for all the stupid mistakes I make on my truck!
