THORINN:
Deferring to the experience and intelligence of one of our NASG founders,
Claude Wade, rest his soul in peace, when drilling and/or tapping brass, the
best lubricant is a product called Tap Magic. I have used it exclusively and
find no fault with Claude's opinion.

Subject: {S-Scale List} Tapping brass and Steeplecab Progress
Gentlemen and (if we are so lucky) Ladies:
First, the progress. I am getting couplers mounted on my steeplecab
and they perfectly came out to the correct height. Sometimes I get lucky.
My question relates to taping lubricants. I have always heard you should use
a
cutting lubricant. (Spit is one.) I am working with brass, not iron. Should I
be using a true cutting oil? The web seems to think cutting oil should be
omitted when tapping brass.
