Hi Sunppaa: There's no denying to the advantages of coolant use for lubrication, chip removal and tooling life. One way of avoiding odor causing bacteria, is using full synthetic coolant, checking and keeping proper concentration and also adding oxygen with a cheap fish tank aerator to provide oxygen to the mixture thus killing bacterial growth. Lack of oil in the sump or minimal contamination also helps. Nice parts for a new process in your shop.
Hi my name is Angel and I was wondering if you could help me with my set up and programing. I like your wheel adapter videos a lot and I was approached to making a set hub centric wheel adapters with 2 set of bolt patterns; 4x110 is the car's bolt pattern with a 59.6 bore dia and 5x115, (1 inch thick and 5 inch final dia), wheel bolt pattern. I see you have eperience with wheel adapters and was wondering if you could give me a hand. I have a 2 axis acu-rite cnc Bridgeport machine with an automatic draw bar. I hope you can help me, this could a boost on my home bussiness.
That's a cool machine.Maybe you could hook up a spray coolant to work with you air hose. And spray coolant when you pull the trigger. I think it could be done Good Luck
The evaporative loss of coolant will be significant with your machine. Also, Fadals leak a lot of tramp oil, which can contaminate your coolant. When certain coolants sit for a long time, they tend to grow anaerobic bacteria, which makes the machine smell like holy hell. I'd recommend going with a Fog Buster (NYC CNC has one), it uses "coolant", but it's a small volume and uses minimal quantity, so you don't have a bunch sitting around. You should really inspect the oiling system of that machine, Fadals are notorious for having problems with the emitter nozzles. On your machine it's the late style, which can clog up too. The early way oils had lots of Paraffin in them, which ended up clogging the emitter nozzles for the system, and the ports. I had to drill out the sludge in my way oil port in the casting. I replaced all of the emitters and any damaged hoses. I also bought a replacement filter kit for the oiler because there was muck in the bottom and the filter was clogged.
I'll really have to think about the coolant issue. Somehow I would just like to keep away from flood, as you also say.. I will be doing a major maintenance to the mill soon! I'll go thru all the lube lines, tool retention and the X-servo adjustments. Nothing like what you've accomplished though :-)! After new year, I want this machine to be completely trustworthy to make lots of parts!
Mulla on omakohtaisia, hyviä kokemuksia Quakerin lastuamisnesteistä juurikin tommosessa satunnaisessa käytössä. Auttaa paljon, kun sen järjestelmän pesee/huuhtelee ennen ku sinne sen uuden nesteen laittaa sisään.
hi, coolant contain biocid so no algae, and as long your oil for lubrication does not cover all top surface of your coolant tank there is no problems, every 7 or 14 days you sip some of fresh 1% coolant mixture and that is pretty much it, I vote for coolant
Thanks! I think there will always be way oil dripping to the coolant on this machine. Have to think more and maybe first see what kind of work I will be getting.
Looks like new machine is doing is doing a great job, but why make those spacers out of steel instead aluminum. Those steel spacers have to weigh in about 3 to 4 lbs., that's a lot of weight to hang on the end of an axle.
by any chance , do you know the CNC program code for making these wheel spacers ? ( i need it for a school project , it will help me a lot ) thank you :d
Those kind of wheel spacers are garbage. You need the raised ring around the hub to make it hub-centric. These kind will move in between the wheel and hub and your wheel will come flying off the car at the worst possible time.
nice video, what kind of restraint system do you use??
It's great to see you up and running with it on a project. You really sound happy with it, and that is cool to hear.
Sure happy for now at least! :-)
Continue refining the Fadal's op., and continue to crank out those parts.....whatever they may be. Kudos to be up and running so quickly!!!

I need a file of its design
Is it cast aluminum or normal aluminum..

that's just awesome, happy for you and looking forward to more of these vids.

Impressive machine.
keep working hard and see u when u have time
work safe

Stainles steel spacers? They look really nice :-)
Actually they are not stainless, just plain low carbon steel :-)!
nice job
Oletko g-koodin tehnyt fusion 360 vai?
Jep!
why not just fix the air line on the coolant pipes and leave it running for the op? nice job and glad you are up and running......
That's one way to go for sure!

Thats what the customer wanted. They go to a 500++hp car so I'd have chosen steel myself actually.
Nice Thx for sharing!

Yeah I plan on robbing the school's stock aswell

your tool changer looks like it's out of alignment. Search At-Man on you tube. he will be a great help!!
