Review: TOP QUALITY! - Very good, used for years at place of work, had to buy my own having retired, no change, fantastic cutting paste, does what it says and lots more.
Review: Make Metal Machining Easy - A perfect addition to my recent purchase of a pillar drill. RTD Compound allows easier cutting of materials and helps to extend tool life, it also has a slight cooling effect. You can see the difference it makes when applied to a blunt drill, the drill travels through the material with ease compared to without the compound. This is also the new design formula that is chlorine free, I find it causes little to no skin irritation compared to the old formula and does not smell terrible once it has heated up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have read here, that this version of rtd is a later designed formula, as i need to drill 1/4" ss on an aquaponics tank, do the warnings still apply?**
A: I can only say that there are no hazard warnings on the container.
However, sensible hygiene and precautions against any fumes generated would be advisable in my book....!
