Another tip. "Lacquer Thinner" used as a cutting fluid is excellent when tapping aluminium, leaving clean sharp threads; this works especially well for smaller taps, such as 2-56 as an example.
Hello Mike
Will try that "Apple Cider" on Brass. Good Tip
Been using Liquid Paraffin, what U Guys call Kerosene, for Turning Al. Leaves a beautiful finish.
Will try those Thinners for Tapping though. Like Petrol I like the smell, so it would be good for me to work with !!!
Thanks for responding and sharing. Much appreciated.
LORD Bless
