Great shop improvement! Idea: how about 2-stage catch can? First stage is a small can with a magnet underneath it and a stand pipe (like a pond weir) that coolant flows through down to the pump reservoir. That would be simple enough and prevent any chip/pump fouling. Just an idea, anyway. Thanks for all you do to teach all of us!
Whose channel is that? 🤣🤣🤣 Good setup. I moved to semi synthetic coolant which is great but it may take your paint off if you let it stand. I used a small 'camping pump' cost about $10. Chucked it into the tub, like you, and it will pump up from the floor. Great vid. Cheers
That type of coolant might give some protection to steel but it wont protect aluminum at all. Aluminum will take on its typical oxide layer and in 99% of the machining cases that's no big deal but if keeping the aluminum fresh for some reason is needed to prevent that oxide from forming, or, slowing that oxide down from forming, then you need to machine aluminum in oil. For instance, if you want to anodize the aluminum after machining, then machining in oil would be best. In my case, this IS important because Ill be anodizing right after machining, but I doubt you will ever have that need so don't worry about it..
you probably want a pump 500-1000gph to get the ~2m head height to pump from the ground. they are fairly cheap online anyway. the actual gph its self isnt important i just know from messing around with similar i needed a pump that sort of size to get head height.

Nice Job Kimber. That will make a real difference in cutter life.
Great result Kimber. Looking cool :-)

Awesome Kim! My 1st thought when I saw it was "Is he using Downy Fabric softener?" ;)

You’re absolutely correct. I went with 500 GPH
