Coolant delivery system

[Philip Davies]

This is a makeshift coolant delivery system, utilising a second-hand garden spray, a nice little salvaged brass tap, a steel arm left over from a previous forging project, an old magnetic base (also 2nd hand), some salvaged tori magnets, acting as counterweight, and a catheter (only used once)

The spray goes on the floor, not the bench as shown. It runs for about 4 minutes each time it’s pumped.

I have mounted the vice on a plate, because of course, it doesn’t fit the T-slots. I shall have to make another plate for my compound table, unfortunately, or just use the one T-slot.
This is a very early start to metal milling, it hasn’t gone very well so far, the cutter pulled out of the collet at least 4 times.
