Type of review

I use this for drilling holes for welding of stainless steel, mild steel and aluminum. It seems to be helping me enough to notice. A friend of mine who installs fire sprinklers said they smelled like linseed oil used to cut pipe. Which is possibly one of its ingredients. I can't imagine why anyone would want to buy smaller bottles when the price difference is so small. I'm glad I have this one so I can use it with confidence.

Pros
  • Used for drilling, tapping, milling - cutting any metal that requires biodegradable cutting fluid in your area
Cons
  • Not sure

Wrong product description and picture.

The product description (package type - drinking cup) and the image shown are incorrect. The product is not a can but a plastic bottle which is more difficult to use and also leaks from the cap when trying to use. I reported a fix/update. I wouldn't have bought this version if I knew it was a plastic bottle and not a can. 11/14/2017 - Update one week later 11/14/2017. following Revain's post of 11/07/2014 that this page contains an incorrect product description and product image.

Pros
  • Provides an ultra-clean finish and extends tool life.
Cons
  • Expensive

Tap Magic was considered a miracle fluid when I first used it 45 years ago. I liked it so much that I have used a small 4 ounce bottle from then to now. When I saw it was available from Revain I immediately bought another 1 ounce. I don't know if they have a mass solution for industrial use in CNC or other manufacturing equipment, but for a small shop this is a life saver. The magic of the tap allows you to use a high-carbon tap or die (rather than true high-speed steel) to cut clean, tear-free

Pros
  • Quickly dissipates heat for tighter tolerances
Cons
  • Non-automatic
