KMT 108 - Qualichem coolant upgrade Media

KMT is back! This week (okay, this was filmed 2 months ago) we're installing new Qualichem 251c coolant in the Tormach PCNC1100 milling machine. Coolant is a very important aspect of CNC machining, and using the right coolant is very important to optimal performance and tool life. I also installed a very sweet coolant wash down hose which will let us clean up our parts and the whole machine a lot easier. This has become one of my favorite new things, I use it all the time! I put a mesh fabric layer under the coolant drain before it goes back into the sump, this helps catch a lot of the smaller chips and keeps them out of the bottom of the tank.

Overall I'm loving Qualichem! My parts are a LOT shinier than before and I'm getting significantly better tool life. Win win! Thanks for watching!
