Relton A-9 118ml (4oz) Aluminium Cutting Fluid - CFA94OZ

Relton is a US manufacturer of cutting and tapping compounds, pastes, and fluids designed for use with annular cutters, hole saws, and tapping operations on steel and other metals. Their A-9 cutting oil formula is widely used with magnetic drill presses and annular cutters, providing lubrication and cooling at the cutting edge to extend cutter life and improve hole quality in structural steel and heavy plate applications.

Relton cutting compounds and fluids are applied to annular cutters, hole saws, and taps before and during cutting to reduce friction, carry heat away from the cutting edge, and prevent built-up edge on the cutter flutes. The A-9 formula is specifically engineered for mag drill and annular cutter applications where consistent lubrication is critical to cutter longevity.

Where this product is used

Relton cutting compounds are used in steel cutting and metal machining applications:

• Magnetic drill and annular cutter operations in structural steel fabrication and site construction.
• Hole saw cutting in steel, stainless, and aluminium where heat buildup shortens tool life.
• Tapping operations in steel where consistent thread quality and tap life are required.

Selecting the right option

Apply Relton cutting fluid liberally to the cutter and the cutting area before starting and reapply during cutting — the fluid is consumed by the cutting process and must be replenished on longer or deeper cuts. Select by container size based on volume of use: smaller containers suit occasional or site work; larger containers suit workshop environments with continuous mag drill use.
