Deublin rotary unionWhat do you use to pump fluid thru the muzzle of the barrel and what fitting on the barrel?
It's thinner than dark thread cutting oil. I run it with an 1/8th HP pump with no problems.^^^
Cool, thanks for the info.
I see it online for under $120 for a 5 gal- that's way less than Ridgid.
Admittedly, much of the chemistry of all the neat cutting oils is way beyond my pay grade- and confusing.
Chorinated additives, sulfur content, etc. Some have both, some one or the other- or none.
Is the viscosity similar to darker cutting oils?
Do you use it strictly for chambering, or all ops where lubrication is beneficial?
No carbide. Not needed^^^
Last one, I promise
HSS or carbide reamers? Confirming you're using the oil in the same application/feeds/speeds as the rest of peasants chambering on a manual machine.
Tap magic X-tra thick for chambering!
I use Habcool gun drill oil in the flush system for chambering, and 318 for threading and it has produced very nice finishes. Kinda pricey but.........I been hearing about Habcool 318. Anyone ever use this stuff?
What kind of Tap Magic and what volume?Take a quart of the Rigif Dark and pour a little can of Tap Magic into it.
you can just threaten the barrel with the tool and shavings will fly off.
