All-source 016170 Cutting Oil Threading Tapping Steel

Product Description

The ALL-SOURCE 016170 is a cutting oil formulated for heavy-duty metalworking operations including threading, tapping, broaching, and cutting of steel. The oil is designed to produce sharp, clean threads while extending die life during repeated use. At 7.5 pounds, it is sized for shop or field use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and other trades who regularly cut and thread pipe or rod stock. Its formulation reduces friction and heat at the cutting edge, which helps maintain tool geometry and thread quality across high-volume work.

This cutting oil is suited for use on steel pipe, rod, and bar stock in both residential and commercial applications. It is compatible with hand threading tools such as ratchet-style die stocks as well as power threading machines. Common install scenarios include field pipe threading on plumbing, mechanical, and gas piping systems where clean thread engagement and leak-free joints are required.

Key Features

• Formulated specifically for threading, tapping, broaching, and heavy-duty cutting of steel
• Promotes sharp, clean thread formation to improve joint fit and sealing
• Extends die life by reducing friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge
• Compatible with both hand tools and power threading equipment
• Suitable for field and shop use across plumbing, mechanical, and pipefitting trades

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pipe and rod threading dies on steel materials. Suitable for hand threading tools and power threading machines commonly used in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical contracting work.

Installation Notes

Apply cutting oil liberally to the die and workpiece before and during the threading operation to ensure adequate lubrication throughout the cut. Work should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or machinist following applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for pipe system installations. Wipe excess oil from finished threads before applying thread sealant or tape to ensure a proper seal. Store the container upright in a cool, dry location away from open flame.
