I have a soon to be a recurring job in the shop cutting a fiberglass carbon composite that they want to run with coolant. We ran about 20 parts yesterday and needless to say it backed up the coolant system pretty good. We tried to use a filter cloth to strain the coolant through but it also backed up the system. While I would not normally run coolant while cutting fiberglass management has a definite fear of the carbon part of this being a health risk and maintained that using coolant to control the dust is the only acceptable method. What there not seeing is the mess the fiberglass/carbon particulate is doing to the coolant. So I guess I am looking for advice on how to separate the fiberglass swarf from the coolant to protect the machine and keep management happy, tongue in cheek statement there.
