Great vid Andrew! BTW is there a problem with the seal on the tool turret? It seemed to be leaking coolant from the back of the rotating head after it switched to the threading tool, so much that the coolant feed was only dribbling. |

Sadly yes Pete, the rotary seal is leaking. It's retainer seems to have rusted at one spot but the way to disassemble isn't immediately obvious. The relatively little flow on the threading tool is more due to the fact it's tube has been badly squashed and is 'on the list' - it's only 6 mm steel pipe threaded standard 6 mm - the seal only leaks badly on high pressure coolant. Several of the tools have no tubes and those not used are not yet blanked off so coolant is going all over the place. |
