I operate a newer version of this machine. We never had any problems with coolant. We use normal water&oil coolant at 3%. Because of my lacking experience I don't understand the use of cutting oil.
At some point Id like to see a deep dive into f360 programming something like this and honest opinions. I use it for 3x and its ok, but would like to see how it does with challenges like this. Everyone else on YT with fusion seems to program alot of easier stuff on more basic mills
Fusion does a great job. Honestly see people on Instagram making crazy parts in Fusion everyday. Fusions 5th axis tool paths are amazing. Thanks for watching!
what coolant are you running? Looks like an oil. And how did you get a custom coolant tank, did it not come in with one and you had to fab one up? If so im curious what pump you got and what pump you plan on replacing it with.
We are running a straight oil, we talk about it in some of the earlier videos. The tank is from Hennig, we ordered it for cutting oil. Sadly it is not working out, the tank can not filter the oil fast enough. So the oil flow is too slow. We are going to add some more volume, and change some things. There will be future videos on this. Thanks for watching.
@ConourManufacturing Ah, I thought your problem was the oil was to viscose to be pumped with a coolant pump ment for emulsion coolants (so pretty much the viscosity and density of water). So your saying it's not draining back to the tank fast enough...Can you replace any filters with larger micron size filters to help flow?
@@HuskyMachining the pumps were ordered to pump oil, so they are good. A guess the simple answer is yes, the filter size can get bigger. However we will get more swarf into the sump, then the high pressure oil filters will clog quickly.
for slitting saw recommend either 1 slow, full depth, conventional 2 fast, shallow, climb

Cutting oil, is easier on the machine. It improves tool life, and does not evaporate for long unattended runs. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are so well made. Nice work!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Can't wait for part 2!
It's going to be nerdy!

Coolant flow of an old man's bladder & prostate problem.
Fewer clips, more Shawn❤❤❤!
