Hello everybody, Adam Savage is in my cave with a tool tip this morning and it's a nostalgic tool tip now I have to hold on let me get up visual aid here now I've done lots of videos about using taps to create internal threads inside things and I do this operation on almost a daily basis here in the cave.

And I have also extensively talked in the past about uh if I could go back in time and tell my young self any specific thing it would be to use more cooling fluid such as such I keep a roster of cooling fluids and oils here at the base of my workbench and the one that I think gets the most amount of um of of my attention is my tapping oil then I actually have a couple different kinds of rapid tap tap magic uh I have never noticed the difference between them but they both seem to do the job.

I've been using these types of oils for years now and I have to say it's amazing how much of a difference it makes when you're working with metal. It helps to keep your tools running smoothly and prevents overheating, which can be a real problem when you're working with hot metals. And let me tell you, there's nothing worse than watching a tool just seize up on you because it's too hot to handle.

I've also experimented with different types of oils over the years and I have to say that some of them are definitely better than others. Some of them are really effective at keeping your tools running smoothly, while others seem to do little more than coat the surface of the metal. But overall, I think that using a good quality tapping oil is essential when you're working with metal.

The one thing that's always impressed me about these oils is how well they hold up over time. Even after months or years of use, some of these oils still seem to be doing their job just as well as the day they were applied. And I think that's a testament to the quality of the oil and not just its ability to lubricate metal.

I've also experimented with using different types of tapping oils in combination with each other to see what works best for me. For example, I've tried mixing a little bit of oil with some silicone spray to create a custom blend that seems to work really well. And I have to say, it's always exciting to try out new combinations and see what kind of results you can get.

So yeah, that's my take on tapping oils and how they can help improve your metalworking experience. It's just one of those little things that makes a big difference when you're working with metal, and I'm always excited to share my knowledge with others.

In the comments I'm going to link you to an amazing weird video called the turbo encapsulator do you know about the turbo encapsulator if you don't know about the turbo encapsulator it's truly an epic and beautiful thing and this copy reminds me of it I'm not going to say anything about the turbo and capulet I'm just gonna include a link and you can go check it out because it's awesome.

And yeah, I'm not advocating for a specific tool and I think there's still some Molybdenum disulfide in this and I plan to try and use it with a tap what the hell how bad could it have gotten over the intervening 60 odd years. Yeah uh 40 40 50 50 50 some odd years.

Okay um, so let me tell you about my experience with the Molybdenum disulfide based tapping oil. I had been using this stuff for years now and I thought I knew how it worked. But when I saw the label on this particular can of oil I was surprised to see that it actually contains 99% Molybdenum disulfide.

Now, I've heard of Molybdenum disulfide before, but I never knew what it was or where it came from. So, I decided to do some research and learn more about this amazing substance. And let me tell you, it's fascinating stuff.

Molybdenum disulfide is a type of lubricant that's made from the elements Molybdenum and Sulfur. It's one of the strongest and most durable lubricants known to man, and it's been used for centuries in all sorts of applications.

The reason why I was so excited about this particular can of oil was because of its ability to resist extreme pressure beyond the yield point of any metal. This means that even when you're working with hot metals or under extreme pressure, Molybdenum disulfide will still be able to keep your tools running smoothly.

It's an incredible substance and I'm glad to have it in my arsenal of tapping oils. And I think that's the one thing that really sets this oil apart from all the other ones out there. It's not just a matter of lubricating metal, it's about providing a durable and long-lasting solution for your problems.

So yeah, I'm excited to try out this Molybdenum disulfide based tapping oil with my tap and see what kind of results I can get. And who knows, maybe it'll be the best oil I've ever used.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everybody adam savage in my cave with a tool tip this morning  and it's a nostalgic tool tip now i have hold on let me get up visual aid herenow i've done lots of videos about using taps to create internal threads inside  of things and i this is an operation i do on almost a daily basis here in the cave  um and i have also uh extensively talked in the past about uh if i could go back in time  and tell my young self any specific thing it would be to use more cooling fluid as such  i keep a roster of cooling fluids and oils here at the base of my at the base of my uh workbench  uh and the one that i think gets the most amount of um of of my attention is my tapping oil um then  i actually have a couple different kinds rapid tap tap magic uh i have never noticed the difference  between these two things i think in a pinch uh some three in one oil would work just fine  um and look i love both of these i the rapid tap i've been using for 30 years the tap magic  i recently found it from another job sitting back where in a bin so it's come out again um  but neither of these is the tool tip today today's tool tip is about a nostalgic  type of tapping fluid and here it is tapping fluid molly d molly d this this i just want to take you  on a tour through some mollie d because i just love this this this uh i picked this up on ebay  for about 10 or 12 bucks recently uh and i picked it up because it has some of my favorite ad copy  of any of any kind of product i have ever used okay so just as you know  look all of these things all all of these products that we use they have labels on them  they say things like effective for drilling milling threading broaching boring turning tapping  engraving reaming sawing like somebody worked on that copy right i appreciate that there's a team  of people choosing the right color yellow and red and green and making it all work together  and a lot of times these things will say uh you know they'll be set they work hard to sell you  ad copy on products works hard to sell you that product even after you've bought it so  it says things like it's a true professional quality so tap magic here's what tapmagic says  tapmagic protep is a true professional quality cutting fluid that is completely biodegradable  saves time tools and money that sounds like you're talking to the entire company i meanad copy right that's just what it is well get ready for molly d's ad copy  first of all i love this friction's greatest enemy yeah friction's greatest enemy so  somewhere in the late 50s early 60s a group of well probably men got together and were like  what are we going to call this new product molly d and they've got this they've got this molecule  here i believe that is a molecule i believe they are attempting to represent that this is like been  designed at a molecular level um a okay so this is made by withrow uh and it says here  on the side another with withrow product of distinction product of again just terms of  art they're just coming up with them friction's greatest enemy a withrow product of distinction  and on the other side it says uh oh yeah of 33 and molly d are registered trademarks of the arthur c  withrow company but here on the back i'll get some gloss ups of this here's what this saysa combination of chemicals scientifically formulated to provide industry with quote the  finest machining assistant yet devised by nature and the skill of man specifically designed for  tapping drilling threading reaming fortified with of33 a wear resisting life-prolonging fluid film  rich in oilness i didn't know that was a word an ever-present cushion of lubricity  dude a wear resisting life prolonging fluid film rich in oilness and ever-present cushion  of lubricity lubricity dude molybdenum disulfide specially selected and processed  retains lubricity from 100 to 750 degrees fahrenheit experts agree  this resists extreme pressure beyond the yield point of any metal truly the answer to the space  age machining challenge okay so space age i'm going to say this is the mid 60sis great it's just it's beautiful i the reason i know about this is because jamie has had a  can about this size of molly d in his shop since i started working for him in the early 90s and  i've always loved it and yeah i probably could have called him up and said could i borrow it  but then i'd have to talk to him and we'd have to pretend we're catching up and you know we'd have  to be civil and not that we'd be uncivil but he he doesn't you know he's doing his own thing i'm not  gonna bother him so i went on ebay and i thought hmm maybe they'll have a can and i found it  an ever-present cushion of lubricity and this is just there's no better quote than  this the finest machining assistant yet devised by nature and the skill of manin the comments i'm going to link you  am i going to link to that no i'm going to hold that back up you know okay in the comments i will  link you to this amazing weird video called the turbo encapsulator do you know about the turbo  encapsulator if you don't know about the turbo encapsulator it's truly an epic and beautiful  thing and this copy reminds me of it i'm not going to say anything about the turbo  and capulet i'm just gonna include a link and you can go check it out because it's awesome  um yeah i'm not advocating for a specific tool and i i have i think  i think there's still some mollie d in this and i plan to try and use it with a tap what the hell  how bad could it have gotten over the intervening 60 some odd years yeah uh 40 40 50 50 50 some odd  years okay um i know i'm not advocating for a specific product today it is just a specific ad  ad copy that made me super happy the first time i read it 25 years ago makes me just smile just  as much today uh thank you guys for joining me get the somali d and i'll see you next time bye  thank you guys so much for watching that
