A lubricant available at a large home improvement retailer, formulated to reduce friction and heat when using rotary cutting tools. It is applied directly to the flutes of the tool prior to and during use, particularly when working with metals. This product is designed to extend the life of the tool and improve the quality of the finished hole.
The use of this lubricant offers several advantages. It minimizes the risk of overheating, which can cause premature dulling or breakage of the cutting implement. Reduced friction translates to less effort required to operate the tool, improving user comfort and control. Historically, various lubricants, including oils and greases, have been employed for similar purposes, but specialized waxes provide a cleaner and more targeted application.
