Awl --
I'm fixin to get their gantry mill GR-510, with TSC.
I would like to use the coolant tank/pump on my Fadal 3016L for both machines, but Haas is indicating that I should have the Haas coolant tank for TSC.
Note that the TSC for this machine is very low psi, like 25.
The centrifugal pump for the fadal flood coolant puts out almost 35 psi.
Couldn't I use that pump for the Haas TSC?
The Haas guys are saying that TSC uses its own "special" pump. I myself don't quite see what's so special about 25 psi....
And even if it does have a special pump, couldn't I just plop it in the fadal tank?? Would the fadal tank need any mods for this?
Can anyone clarify what the real deal is, and why it is what it is?
Also, does TSC coolant replace the standard flood coolant, or is in addition to it? If TSC does have its own pump, AND it is in addition to std flood coolant, then there would be TWO pumps, correct?
Also, the fadal tank is a 35 gal, while the Haas tank is 95 gal (!!!), but I could proly enlarge the fadal tank, either directly, or with siphon-attached buckets or some other container, if I really needed more volume.
The Haas coolant tank for the GR510 is an odd (to me) 4 ft x 6 ft very low profile tank, and 4x6 is a lot of real estate in a cramped shop.
Thanks.
