All-Purpose Metalworking Compound 8oz - Water-Based Cutting Fluid for Drilling, Tapping, Sawing - Great on Stainless Steel | No Oil

First of all, this stuff works. Greatly facilitates drilling in stainless steel. I'm sure it is equally effective with other metals. Not only does it make drilling faster, but it also keeps your drill bits shaper longer.But the best thing about it is that it is so much cleaner than the messy oil-based lubricants I've used in the past. Sure it can splatter a little or get on your hands but since it's water based, it just wipes right off. What a joy. I swear, in the past I sometimes did not use lubricant just because of the mess. No longer. Give this stuff a try. You'll love it!

I purchase several things on Amazon and was giving pretty in-depth reviews. From this point on, here's the new agenda…. if it works as advertised, is well made, meets or exceeds the description, is a value, and arrives in a fair amount of time, it will get a "star rating" equal to what my expectations were/are. If it doesn't meet these criteria, then I will most definitely and descriptively tell the short comings of the products and you as a consumer will not have to go through the trouble of buying the product without some background knowledge. If the sell pulls that item and relists under another description, I will put the exact same review on the seller's feedback page. Sellers have done this a couple of times in the past, and I was true to my word then as well as now. DR

Works great. Have used it for drilling and cleaning threads. No smoke and easy to clean.

Anchorlube helps when drilling holes in metal. Drill bits last longer, no smoke, and faster smooth cuts.

Love this stuff as it's the right consistency to stay where you want it. Use it for all my drilling. It's water based and not all oily. I thin it down by 50-100% and still performs well, which makes for an even better value. It's pricey unless you buy it by the gallon.

Works well only draw back is it covers your center mark so apply once the drill is in position

Looks like hulk jizz and it gets everywhere, but this stuff works absolute wonders! I had a piece of 4340 stock that I was about to give to a machine shop because of how hard it was to machine and how it was blowing through my carbide tips. This stuff literally tripped my carbide life over oil, and allowed me to cut 30 percent deeper with no chatter. I'm going to buy the gallon now.

This lubricant works great for drilling and milling.
