'''Flood Coolant'''
'''Flood Coolant'''
We should talk about this - the machine was set up with a full enclosure with flood coolant.
Qualichem XTREME CUT 250C
Coolant takes regular maintenance (it harbours oil-eating bacteria which can cause skin irritation).
Source: torontolube.com, Alan at customerservice@torontolube.com - 1 gallon jug is all we need, which is below their minimum quantity - but they made an exception.
Alternative proposed by NYC CNC is a "Fogbuster" (Tormach 32682)
Dilute to 8-10% by adding concentrate to tap water (not the other way around!)
Measure with refractometer and add water regularly to compensate for evaporation
Skim to remove oil regularly (oil grows bacteria)
Agitate with air regularly (todo aquarium pump)
