Hi Hi Unal That is better than a washing up liquid bottle Very well shown & described John |

Good solution, cheap and practical. Also one of a few instances noticed where the outlet will follow where table goes, so dont have to keep repositioning. :clap: It dont matter what you do, the swarf will always block things up. Was going to go 3/4BSP" with silicon piping flowing on to lower tray. Then in to a catch can like container, sediment can drop and be cleaned. In a panic i did try a mister/pulsator the other week, always gets in the way chippings cover what you want to see and not much better than no coolant. However bought because pump on lathe went down and cant get a replacement quick, recommended. |

Thanks to all, I need to add; I feel anyone can figure out but, let me say what I forget to say; It will move as the head moves up and down, only fine feed as it goes down needs a little adjustment. you can swing towards the column to get it out of the way when changing tools. (only one screw not too tight) like pendilum. I use mosquito screen piece to bloke swarf, never clog anything yet... bucket is out of the way, if you keep the discharge tube flexible lenght, it wont interfere with table's movement. remind; need to keep discharge bucket little lower than the gate to flow back to bucket. pump completely submerged in the bucket.. only, if you using saw cutting just make a roll of clear flexible plastic around the work and the vice (like a large pipe ) to keep all water on the table. |
