- Follow along as Mark shows us a 4-step method for mixing new coolant to fill the coolant tank on your Haas CNC machine. Then subscribe to our TH-cam channel ( / haasautomation ) and visit www.haascnc.com for more operator tips and tricks!
Mark also gives us tips on refilling the tank, using some basic estimation to keep the coolant concentration in the correct range.

Stumbling across a video of a beardless Mark makes me question the universe....
You guys at Haas would probably know this but when you measure the coolant concentration with a Refractometer you have to know the "Refractometer Factor" for the type/brand of coolant you are using. Most people would just read 5 on the Refractometer and assume that would be 5% but this is wrong. You have to multiply this Refractometer reading with the "Refractometer Factor".
For example, at my work the previous coolant we used we just read the Refractometer reading and used that as the percentage. Then we met a very helpful salesman that convinced us to swap to his coolant brand (CIMTECH 3100). After months of using this coolant the salesman inspected our coolant in our CNC lathes and ask us the concentration levels we were using. We said 5-10% on the Refractometer. He then informed us about the "Refractometer Factor" which was 2.6 for this specific coolant. So we had our coolant concentrate percentage at around 20%!! So with this new information our Refractometer reading had to be between 2 and 4. For example... If I took a coolant sample and the Refractometer reading was 3. So that would be 3 x 2.6 = 7.8%. In turn we are now using a lot less concentrate and our machines seem cleaner to.
BTW Haas, what brand of coolant do you use?
+CarltonDry.Please Great comment! You are correct. In this simple approach video we didn't want to get into the myriad details involved in mixing, checking and refilling your coolant. However, the other videos in our "Coolant Series" delve deeper into these topics, including the consideration of coolant concentration ratio. For anyone needing more in-depth information on checking coolant concentration, or mixing coolant, please check out our "Tools of Coolant" video (bit.ly/Tools-of-Coolant_Haas), as well as the "Coolant Series" playlist (bit.ly/Haas_CoolantVidSeries).
This is an old comment obviously, but I'm glad I read this, I was never aware of this information before regarding the refractometer factor. Thank you for sharing this.
We have terrible city water at work. So we had culligan set up a DI water system that purifies the water down to below 10 ppm. We have a proportioning mixer that mixes the concentration to the exact amt you want. We set it at 4 for a complete coolant change, and 2 for topping coolant levels off. One thing I learned the hard way is, you cant check fresh di water and fresh coolant with a refractometer. Barely anything will read on the refractometer. You can pour as much straight coolant in as you want and it wont change, because the water is so pure. We have a new haas, with new coolant/di water,and the reading is 2, which I know is REALLY 4 without factoring in the multiplier. It is recommended that the 1st batch going in not be di water, so there are minerals in there. Doesnt really make sense to me.
Make a video on how to properly maintain haas mill
We have the automatic mixer which attaches to both a main water line and our drum of unmixed coolant. This really works well and saves allot of time. Works well specially when dealing with multiple machines... Did go through this process as well. Both work well. But there are other options.. what do you guys think of these different methods.. thanks for sharing.. 😊
pl explain a correlation of cast iron corrosion test in field
1:35 How did you get to that screen?
how come some coolant needs distilled or de-ionized water?
due to mineral and limescale which can cause build up and block some part of the system, ps Like some of your video
i believe that is costly if u have one water line and you have so many machines.
Remember OIL. Oil In Last
I had never heard this before. What’s wrong with putting the oil in first?
Calvary Industries Inc has the best coolant and is super cheap
Rolltech Innovation manufactures machine coolant saver. Serious threats to productivity and health are bacteria and fungi which are commonly found in industrial coolants. This coolant bacteria filter has some advantageous features include: last a life time, with guarantee of extended life of coolant with bacteria filter - no consumables, no electricity, no chemical dosing, etc.
It is a one time investment, ROI within 4-6 Months, Saves on input of fresh oil and disposal cost like etp treatment, or giving it to authorised recycler.
These mineral oil based coolant are prone to generation of bacteria which produces foul odour, often from hydrogen sulfide [rotten egg smell].
Rolltech Innovation "Aqualogic" filter is an innovative and economical method of continuously controlling these micro organisms and the odour they generate. "Aqualogic" bacteria coolant filter consists of series of high-purity multi-metal fibres cased within a stainless steel tube. the dissimilar ions in the multimetal alloy bed undergo a natural electrochemical reaction, also known as an oxidation-reduction reaction. Which Kills the all the Microbial activity in the coolant 24/7
