Review on ๐Ÿ”ต Boelube 70302-12 12 Oz. Soft Blue Machining Lubricant Paste by David Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for metal and plastic

So far I have used it on aluminium, copper, brass, bronze and magnesium. I will soon be using it on mild steel, stainless steel, titanium and inconel. Helps with finishing, speed, chip evacuation and tool life. Pictured is a project I'm doing with AZ31 Magnesium, the surface is silky smooth and the pattern is beautiful. I popped up leaving 0.002 inch to finish/pattern. I smeared a thin layer about half the size of M&M onto the top, did a quick operation at a depth of .002" and now it's shiny. in a hole milled prior to planing. Recommend this to any machinist who doesn't like or use coolant systems. It is very easy to work with and easy to clean. Be sure to keep it in a cool place as it will begin to liquify once you reach the 80-85 degree Fahrenheit range. silky surface finish.
