Hi guys,
(ugh, title misspelling, "induce" not "indujce")
Got a new 1-1/4" thru-coolant boring bar. It has three flats. If I simply bring coolant to the back of the boring bar holder ID via the ports in my boring bar holder (Mori Seiki SL-2B), most of the coolant will run through the flats instead of going through the bar to the tip.
How do you handle this? I thought maybe just seal off the flats with silicone, but I also adjust the extension of the boring bar now and then, and would have to re-caulk every time. I have also plumbed a vinyl hose from one of the turret ports around to the back of the bar before, but this is a hassle to set up each time.
Thanks, and regards.
Mike

all my id ik tools have flats, and there is enough coolant pressure, so to spread inside the tool and also on the flats
