Some people never learn their lesson. Who knows how many times it happened to him. In the beginning he watched it , but then he walked away without closing the water tap.
This guy is amazing he is so concerned about thermal growth he has had the insight to cool the floor to keep the machining surface cool and stable bloke is a genus... he will be a manager soon I promise this is what normally happens in the uk
I work for toyota, and coolant overflow happened so often in our factory that we installed springloaded handvalves so you had to stand there and hold the valve open the entire time you are filling coolant. It was about a weekly thing. One incident wasn't noticed for an entire 30 minute lunch break.
The spring loaded valve is a great idea. Pain in the ass especially when your coolant is way low but still less of a pita than cleaning up an overflow!
@@bluecollar147 That'd be nice, but it'd be another failure point. It'd have to be a way oversized float to not gum up, and any prox switch failure might pump coolant for hours before it got noticed, since all work is done on platforms. Our reservoirs are also rather flat and undersized, so while using flood coolant it may overfill the machine.
@@Raeilgunne ours never failed. At least not when I worked there. We had Coolant tanks on Toyoda fa630s that extended past the machine. So part of it was open. Our maintenance guy fabricated ours using the float from the back of a toilet. Lol so yea it is big but it worked like a champ.
They did the same thing where I work but it didn't actually make things better. People kept tying off the valves to make it keep filling. It probably would have been better if they filled it more often with less coolant but they always wait.
Don't fill the machine while its running because when it stops the coolant that is trapped in the hoses will drain and the level will rise. I got blamed by the operators many times for their screw ups.
I did that only one time as a maintenance guy, filled the tank, the oepratators let their machines fill to the table with chips because the auger couldn't keep up and it trapped many gallons of coolant. From then on I made them stop and shovel it out, or they just didn't get coolant filled.
I lost count the amount of times I've done this. My fav is when a guy left the coolant on then went home. Nightshift came in 4 hours later to a swimming pool that covered the whole shop.
We had a guy at work do this the other day except our machines are much larger and he over filled by about 2,000 gallons , ya we sucked that pit out for hours
He obviously wasn't concerned about his work because making sure that this doesn't happen is part of his work. This is somebody that you do not want to hire.
I run a 10" lathe and while cutting jaws forgot to put a retract in before sending it home. Broke a jaw off the chuck and broke the two bottom bearing blocks on X, 10K later I didn't get fired. BIG lesson learned!
I'm 20 and I Just started working. I'm learning on Star sliding head lathes and whenever I do a mistake I feel so bad about It. It's good to know I'm not alone :)
@@guitargeorge6423 If you make a mistake and no one gets hurt ,that's the main thing. Always work safely and methodically , keep your hands away from cutting tools and chucks until they have stopped.
You think this is bad? I had a coworker who decided to remove all of the coolant, then refill it, and when he mixed the concentrate in, he put literally 10x as much as was needed. It kept foaming, and during long jobs the foam would build up and seep over the sides of the machine. I finally figured it out, because I asked him how much he put in. Fucker needed glasses, he couldn't even see burrs on the corners of parts. oh and while this was going on I was having to run these parts for 8 hours, with a 15 minute cycle time, it was a 30 up fixture I had made, and it did the entire part with one setup. so I would load up the 30 pieces of stock, then continuously mop in between loading parts. I did that for 4 days straight, fucking nightmare.
This video & many of the comments are very common & happened to every CNC operator. I've been running CNC machines for 20+years & have seen it all. Coolant foaming up: very high concentration, remedy: remove a bucket or 2 of coolant, put it aside (or in another machine), add water... then sit back & watch youtube videos as the machine runs.
Hahahahaha. We had that happen end of day, cleaned the mess, next morning once the lines drained more coolant to mop up. Boss was annoyed. Not pissed, just very annoyed 🤣
Don't feel bad, I've done this too. After the 2nd time cleaning it up, I check the inside level in the machine so I know how much to add. The guy below is right a wet vac is way easier than a mop + bucket.
Happened to all of us (CNC operators) but for a coworker of mine it was a nightmare, happened on lunch break when the machine continued to overflow, the coolant seeped under the office door into the manager's office, the carpet was stained & smelly as we enjoyed lunch!!
HAHA I know the feeling. We put a nozzle that you can find on the gas station to fill the petrol in your car, on the coolant hose. When the coolant reaches the nozzle it automatically clicks off. That has saved a lot of trouble.
Not me either. And I learned how to program the machine to run jobs in 1 day! I worked at a shop half my lifetime ago(21years) I learned how to program all of the machines to run jobs in less than 2 weeks.
I've never overfilled one with coolant, but I did have a 4' by 8' surface grinder get a plugged drain hole while I had my back turned. (funny... that shouldn't sound like a washing machine)
We have that rule now, we don't fill direct to tanks but instead fill barrels. So we no don't let people move from tap until they're finished even if it means them stood on their phones while they wait.
I was making coolant and went to shut off the valve and the whole valve came unsoldered and dropped on the floor. The main shutoff had no handle and I couldn't find a way to turn off the water. I called the boss and he came in and took a risk and manhandled the valve with a pair of pliers which shut er down. The whole inspection area was flooded and it was a couple of inches deep. That was the end of that nightshift. What a morning.

Been there 😅 Way back in the day had a buddy that was mainly a lathe guy helping me run parts in the mill department. I stuck the coolant hose in and told him “Don’t let me forget that” He agreed. 30 secs later he says “Let’s go have a smoke” .. We did.. 🤦♂️🤣
I consider this is to be a good fail. Noone was injured. Its the co-workers reaction that is priceless. I half expect them to pitch in and get him a lifejacket for xmas so he doesnt drown :D
This has happened to all of us at least once. I’ve only been doing it for 4 months, little to no training, forgot the hose in the back of my okuma and someone casually walked over and told me. So embarrassing but I was assured it happens and was laughed off
I've done it plenty of times, it's easy to forget filling a 1000L coolant tank with a1/2" hose. But the leading hand put the hose in just before knock off time and forgot, now that was a flood, lol.
We just use 5gal buckets to fill the machines. Have to be careful with the 2 smaller ones though, no screw conveyers so the coolant will splash right out if you dump it on the pans. Not long ago we had a problem where the coolant pressure was weak on a machine. ID10T worker kept dumping more coolant in until the sump overflowed. The problem was chip build-up underneath the pump!
It happens to the best of us sooner or later. I learned to tape a large note on the machine control the water is running! multi tasking can prove to be counter productive when we least expect!
@@sovannv no, like our buckets are already full, and students add a little water every day anyway, bc we wash the windows so we can see what we are doing the buckets just have coolant in them
Here's a tip: If you need to lower the level in a tank quick, put a sacred clean 5 gallon bucket under the coolant nozzle (or spray hose) and fill them up. I've saved one of these spills filled to the brim by doing this when chips inside have trapped a lot of coolant
Had a employee do the exact same thing and it was an absolute mess. The individual showed up an hour early before shift started and wanted to play around and ended up causing a disaster much worse then what you have posted. Lessons always learned from small mistakes 😂
In my factory one guy left the coolant pump on for an entire night, we came back to a sea of coolant. Many cubicmetres of coolant were spilled on the floor. Fortunately we have a big workshop so it was not entirely flooded.
There’s a guy at our shop that does this like a lot. Once twice in one week lol last time he did it, he turned the coolant on and then went to freakin lunch 😂
@@kylephillip6433 You know when people dont care about their work , they definitely dont need help they need a pay cut so it whont hapen to often , everybody has been there but doing it over and over again means you realy dont care .Dont even want to thing about quality of his parts...
@@kylephillip6433 yeah I don't do that in my shops. I always try to help if I have time.

If we can't talk it out well then it's not my problem. But if you affect my work it is. Food for thought.
Dude, I've done this back in the day adding water to a wire edm. That's why we have a mandatory procedure where if you are filling a machine, you Must supervise the process at all times. No distractions.
I agree with a lot of other comments... This kind of problem is the least of your troubles on a machining center.. I programmed for 20 years in a 3D mold cavity shop and this is a simple and cheap fix. Try wrecking your tapping head into a vise and ruining your spindle bearings in the crash LOL
Why doesnt it come with an overflow warning as most have warning whne it runs too low and automnatically stops. Same is needed for the hydraulic oil and slide way lubricator.
Over here we didnt go for lunch one time.. it was friday end of the day... By the time we noticed (monday morning) the barrel of oil was empty and only water came out of the hose, onto the street for 2 days straight haha smh
I've done it at least half a dozen times, luckily we have a floor scrubber/space so cleanup isn't terrible. Over on our screw machines though, we have the spring valves but everyone would find a part the right size to jam in there and walk away from. way worse cleaning that oil up, in the end a shovel is best...
After 20 years of machining my #1 favorite, and most useful tool....the shop vac!!! #2 favorite is the hand crank mechanical pencil sharpener. You can keep your fancy stuff LOL.
Ive done this myself twice. I never leave the hose unattended again. I dont care how much i think i can accomplish while it fills. I stand there. There are also tales at my shop of coolant running over 30 min lunch breaks and rivers running through the building
Chips clogging the return. Makes you think tank is empty. Guess what? It was nearly full. Now it IS full. I've got a shop vac and mop that have only seen coolant.
Ah, the CNC-Workshops public bathing establishment. Happens at least twice a week, and we are using prefilled canisters that are matched for the machines, so this should not happen... yet; happens. All the time. Not to that extend, but still.
Hey man i feel your pain i actually scene where a guy left it on all weekend lol. i have done it prob 4 times. little trick i learned is to never take your hand off the hose.
my job added mandatory spring return manual ball valves to all the coolant lines, let go and they close. now we just have to hold it open for 3-4 minutes.
@@Raeilgunne Thats a great idea, but knowing the guys I work with - they would just find a wrench and secure it with that so they can fuck off and do whatever instead 😅
I was expecting something goon, & not just a bit of coolant on the floor, this happens on a regular basis, the High Tec Equipment you need to sort this is a Mop & Bucket. Please show us what you promise.
Shop vacs are a wonderful thing! So are timers! Though I’m not sure if he placed the hose nozzle wrong or the video skipped ahead in time to the overflow point.
Where I work we have automatic fill system with level detection so only thing that needs to be done is change empty barrel of oil for a new one. Clever and effective system.
In my country you have to clean it up and put into waste drum for proper disposal. There is no washing it the down the drain unless you want a big fine from government. Protect ground water ! U drink where u pee.
I’ll bet you I’ve this EXACT thing in the EXACT way probably 50 times over the last 18 years. Only I’ve had floods that would have covered the area of that whole shop floor X’s 2. I’m legendary haha. Great video!
Something similar happened at my shop, guy was filling the tank and walked away for a little bit, I glanced at the level float and saw it was already above full so I ran over to shut off the water right as it started to over flow.
The worse thing in my CNC lathe life is when I forgot to reset the program and when I pushed the start button of the CNC machine, all of a sudden all tools were damaged with 3000 rpm...
Our Battery filling cart needed replenishing once a week. On more than one occasion did I walk off to do bigger and better things only to return to my own man-made lake. installed a float valve that automatically closes when the level gets high. Not a single incident ever since.
I overflowed the plasma table once. Use air to push it out and into the table. I was right there, and yep, it was almost to overflow, I panicked and instead of closing the valve, I opened it, wide open, it created a tsunami wave. Musta been 30 gallons. Definitely wasnt the 1st time it happened.
Never happened to the shop I worked before. We mix concentrate coolant with water in a bucket then fill the tank with it. No way we can take off our eyes while filling it to the max level.
That's nothing. My boss left it running overnight. Emptied a 205L coolant drum at 8% 😁😁 It was about 4 inches deep at some points !!. The whole of a 5000sq factory is covered in coolant. Messy and expensive day as it was aerospace grade coolant at 1500k a drum 🤣🤣Was a once a week occurrence at my place 😁😁
You can tell they're his friends. They immediately didn't help.
True that. Instead take pics and mocked him. Lol.
With good friends like that, who needs enemies?
If you're not in danger or shit isn't on fire, why not mercilessly mock and humiliate him? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some people never learn their lesson. Who knows how many times it happened to him. In the beginning he watched it , but then he walked away without closing the water tap.
He has his own machine to care for.
I'd run to help anybody, although for some a bit slower ...
Remember to take your machine for a walk every few hours so it can relieve itself.
Making sure that the machine is well hydrated?

Also don’t feed it after midnight

Done that on more than one occasion...never dull moment in a machine shop...
Hilarious 😂😂😂 only because I've done it at least 10 times !!!! Love your videos from one mold maker to another .
Lol!!😂I done that before. I found my coworker asleep holding the hose at 5am in the morning and a mess on the floor lol!!
Ive done this myself twice. I never leave the hose unattended again. I dont care how much i think i can accomplish while it fills. I stand there. There are also tales at my shop of coolant running over 30 min lunch breaks and rivers running through the building
This is really a happy day for me as I lose sleep when something like this happens 😄🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chips clogging the return. Makes you think tank is empty. Guess what? It was nearly full. Now it IS full. I've got a shop vac and mop that have only seen coolant.
Ah, the CNC-Workshops public bathing establishment. Happens at least twice a week, and we are using prefilled canisters that are matched for the machines, so this should not happen... yet; happens. All the time. Not to that extend, but still.
Good to see his work buddies taking it in stride!
Hey man i feel your pain i actually scene where a guy left it on all weekend lol. i have done it prob 4 times. little trick i learned is to never take your hand off the hose.
my job added mandatory spring return manual ball valves to all the coolant lines, let go and they close. now we just have to hold it open for 3-4 minutes.
@@Raeilgunne Thats a great idea, but knowing the guys I work with - they would just find a wrench and secure it with that so they can fuck off and do whatever instead 😅
What was that water on the floor and why was it placed there?
This was such a common occurrence at the aerospace company I worked for,l. It became customary to buy who ever helped you mop up a beer.
Guys he will stop global warming by cooling down the ground
I was expecting something goon, & not just a bit of coolant on the floor, this happens on a regular basis, the High Tec Equipment you need to sort this is a Mop & Bucket. Please show us what you promise.
Feel bad for the dud getting recorded at work all the time :/
Multi tasking,cleaned thr floor as well as filled the sump.
exactly
I worked with a guy that would overfill twice-three times a week. But no one ever said anything to him because he was the top producer.
you cannot sweep coolant into the floor drain.
you can and he did.
Меня больше поразило какую музыку подобрали
I used to fill the carry tank walk off and forget always stay on the hose with the machine stopped lol
have contact information in the video th-cam.com/video/_SBkl3b2ZOs/w-d-xo.html
I did this on a Toyoda FV1680 last week. Forgot to stop filling the coolant tank!
Lol this is also what happens when you don’t clear out your chips !
yup overflowww! happened to me 2 times, NEVER AGAIN. annoying waste of my time to clean up lol.
Shop vacs are a wonderful thing! So are timers! Though I’m not sure if he placed the hose nozzle wrong or the video skipped ahead in time to the overflow point.
Merry Christmas, coolant's full !!
🤣
Where I work we have automatic fill system with level detection so only thing that needs to be done is change empty barrel of oil for a new one. Clever and effective system.
This has happened to me several times. Always trying to multitask. Very short attention span. 🤣🤣
I have been working in a CNC workplace for 22 years now - this shit happens once every couple months at my workplace.
We have one guy in my job wich do this almost every single day 😂😂😂
i did exact same in the last day 4 on my cnc lathe, i'now that felling
have contact information in the video th-cam.com/video/_SBkl3b2ZOs/w-d-xo.html
This is a every day thing where I work. If it's not a machine being over ran it's a tumbler or wash tank!
Been there done that before.
In my country you have to clean it up and put into waste drum for proper disposal. There is no washing it the down the drain unless you want a big fine from government. Protect ground water ! U drink where u pee.
I’ll bet you I’ve this EXACT thing in the EXACT way probably 50 times over the last 18 years. Only I’ve had floods that would have covered the area of that whole shop floor X’s 2. I’m legendary haha. Great video!
Something similar happened at my shop, guy was filling the tank and walked away for a little bit, I glanced at the level float and saw it was already above full so I ran over to shut off the water right as it started to over flow.
The worse thing in my CNC lathe life is when I forgot to reset the program and when I pushed the start button of the CNC machine, all of a sudden all tools were damaged with 3000 rpm...
Our Battery filling cart needed replenishing once a week. On more than one occasion did I walk off to do bigger and better things only to return to my own man-made lake.
installed a float valve that automatically closes when the level gets high. Not a single incident ever since.
I've done this many times. You tell yourself you will check it in a minute, then completely forget.
I overflowed the plasma table once. Use air to push it out and into the table. I was right there, and yep, it was almost to overflow, I panicked and instead of closing the valve, I opened it, wide open, it created a tsunami wave. Musta been 30 gallons. Definitely wasnt the 1st time it happened.
In my working company made flood of coolent is waste to ground many time,its a small non accident problem
That guy must be scare trying to clean that up as fast as he can and the other two taking pics smiling 😂😂😂
Nice!! They all had a good sense of humor!!
Never happened to the shop I worked before. We mix concentrate coolant with water in a bucket then fill the tank with it. No way we can take off our eyes while filling it to the max level.
That's nothing. My boss left it running overnight. Emptied a 205L coolant drum at 8% 😁😁 It was about 4 inches deep at some points !!. The whole of a 5000sq factory is covered in coolant. Messy and expensive day as it was aerospace grade coolant at 1500k a drum 🤣🤣Was a once a week occurrence at my place 😁😁
That guy was sitting there thinking 'I'm Awesome' and then the heavy metal music kicked in and he turned into a five year with no desert.
