Coolant for Brass 360?
Reached out to Qualichem since there were a lot of suggestions of Xtreme Cut. They actually suggested a product called Q-Sol Cu, it's soluble oil emulsion specifically for copper based alloys. Will try out if price isn't crazy.- machinistguy

Coolant for Brass 360?
I've seen supposed non-staining straight oils, but ruled them out as expensive due to carry off. It might be our only option though, will have to take a closer look. Thanks for the reply!- machinistguy

Coolant for Brass 360?
Does anyone have any suggestions for a brass coolant? We've tried a couple of coolants that said they work well on brass, some better, some worse, but all start causing staining if not cleaned up right away, which is an issue. Most of the threads on here just say run it dry, but we're running...- machinistguy

Thanks for the advice. I got a heat treating and a tempering oven for a job I ran earlier, and my automatic bandsaw is coming next week.- machinistguy

Yep, already running into some of those problems. Good call. The orange extension cord is for the lighting inside the mill.- machinistguy

After a year of homeshopping it, finally got my own space in the Dallas-FortWorth area. I got a 2006 Okuma MB-46VAE. Any advice on moving from prototyping to production work and finding production clients?- machinistguy
