Relton REL01G-NRT New Rapid Tap Heavy Duty Metal Cutting Fluid Bottle 1 Gallon

The Relton REL01G-NRT is New Rapid Tap heavy duty metal cutting fluid, bottle, liquid, 1 gallon, temperature range -20°F to 450°F, 4 per case.

Rapid Tap is one of the most recognised names in cutting fluid and the "New" in the name is not decoration — it denotes the reformulated product, and that reformulation was a genuine chemistry change rather than a marketing refresh.

What a cutting fluid actually does is worth being precise about, because it is not lubrication in the ordinary sense. Its job is to carry heat away from the cutting edge and to prevent the chip from pressure-welding itself to the tool. When a chip welds to a flute, the flute stops clearing, pressure rises, heat rises, and the tool breaks — in the hole, in a nearly finished part, in hardened steel that will not drill out. That is the failure the fluid prevents.

The stated -20°F to 450°F range describes the fluid's working envelope.

Heavy duty means it is formulated for difficult material — stainless, alloy steels, and the work where a light fluid gives up.

The gallon size is for a shop that decants rather than for a toolbox.

Applications include tapping, drilling, reaming, and threading in tough metals.
