I am planning to cut some 3" stainless steel on the Bridgeport mill. To expedite this process, I am building a temporary flood coolant system. If it works I will donate it to DMS.
Is it acceptable to use the cold cut saw’s coolant on the Bridgeport mill, or should I stick with WD-40?
Please keep your eyes on the calendar for the next Machine Shop meeting (probably 7/22). We’d love to meet you and hear about what you’re doing and learning.
My concern is that it will get all over the place and even the parts getting wiped down will probably be left slippery. The second concern is the DRO/X autofeed/ZAxis DRO getting moisture in them.
