There is some stuff in a can called "aluma tap" if I remember the name right. I use that for cutting, threading. It is like night and day when threading aluminum without it. Trying to tap dry breaks

After breaking too many 6-32 and 8-32 taps in vhf/uhf cavity amplifier aluminum parts, I discovered a product named "Tap Magic for Aluminum". I have to say that it is indeed ":magic" and smells good

Many, many years ago when I needed to tap hundreds of holes at a time and do it manually. So I took a block of aluminum - 2" X 1.5" X 1"H. I drilled clearance holes for #2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 1/4".
