Union Butterfield Drilling and Tapping Fluid

Bobnotthecat · Nov 7, 2011

Hey Folks,
Could any of you direct me to a vendor of the drilling and tapping fluid made by Union Butterfield. I need less than a case but more than one 16 ounce bottle.
Can't find it with any of my regular suppliers but only can get a 12 bottle case from Pittsburgh. I wont live long enough to use that much.

Thanks,
Bob...not the cat.

Let me refer you to this thread of a couple years ago: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/buttercut-cutting-fluid-192555/

John,
Thank you for responding. I Googled this item and found a company in New Hampshire that I will order from perhaps. I stumbled upon this product some 20 plus years ago and have used it ever since. I have had so much success with it and haven't broken a tap using it in those many years. I have a lot of very difficult tapping ahead of me and won't feel secure until I have a supply in store. I hesitate sharing this little secret with the locals or I would look for some other shop to split a case with.

This stuff rocks!

There, the secret is out.
