Hi all,
I'm just looking for some guidance here about an issue with our new Haas VF-5SS. There are a number of stains that have penetrated the table. We've tried cleaning the stains with a Alkaline cleaner from Oemeta and softly grinding the surface down with an oil stone but that doesn't improve the look or remove the stains as it looks deep within the table.
I've had a suggestion that the % BRIX of our coolant was a potential cause. Our coolant is Oemeta Novamet 910 and currently sitting at 8% BRIX although it was at 6% for a since the install. This coolants recommended spec is between 6-8% so we were at the low end of the spec. We also use air pumps and plastic bubble tubes to keep things moving in the 95 gallon tank. Everything that has gone on the table has had a coating of Boeshield-T9 to help prevent rusting so we are struggling for ideas.
There is a water like drip pattern to the stains so I'm wondering maybe some other fluid from inside the machine that is leaking and causing a problem?
Does anyone else have any suggestions? Here are some photos showing the stains.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
