Re: Tap Magic?
For manual machinery tasks you might also want to look into Relton A9 or Anchor cutting fluid (water soluble). I've had good results with both. Anchor has especially nice cutting, but it feels gross on my hands compared to A9. For the CNC, after extensive reading I decided on Trim, but I haven't run it yet. For some operations in aluminum, I've found regular ol WD40 to work rather well, but I'd recommend something a little thicker for tapping.
