You can request a free sample on their main page. |
We used it for tapping some 303 stainless parts to M4x.7. It seemed like good stuff, but on one part I put too little on the tap and it broke (and then so did the boring bar that follows).
I can't vouch for it for hand tapping, but apparently our programmers decided it is better than just coolant for small taps in stainless. Never used it for aluminum though, or larger taps in stainless.
