Description

The Chesterton 388 Synthetic Tapping Fluid is a safe, pure synthetic formula for machining operations at high speed and feed rates, as well as manual or automatic single-shot cutting tools applications. It provides the industrial performance of conventional petroleum and solvent based fluids while eliminating the hazards normally associated with these traditional products. The synthetic lubrication combines with maximum heat dissipation capability at the shear plane, extending tool life and keeping taps cool.
