I am retired now, but I still have a small lathe and milling machine in the back yard shop. Needless to say, I still use my favorite cutting fluids, even if there is many new products on the market today. I have used Trim Tap heavy & light tapping fluids, Molly Dee is also a good tapping fluid I like for stainless steel use. I likes the Tap Magic when it used to smell really good, but those days are gone. I don't have the ability to used coolant at my backyard shop as I don't have many jobs that require machine work now. I use cutting oil from MSC by the gallon, as well as their way oil. Shipping and disposal of coolant has been a issue for many shops for a long time now. I appreciate your article here. R.Primm
