Reply to comment by [deleted] in Can i use 3 in 1 brand all temp fluid to lubricate drill bits when drilling (steel?) hinges? by drummerene

Any metal cutting job benefits from lube, tap magic, 3-1 oil, hell, even Crisco or Astroglide.

Lube is not only for the cutting edge, but helps the flutes on a stupid 0.54$ drill bit clear the cuttings.

So you are saying I should swap Crisco for my Astroglide when I’m doing some hardcore drilling?

I just use a little spit for a small job like this. It's nature's lube. Works surprising well for what is it lol.
