First off, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this topic to date. There is a lot of great info on here... just wish people used more accurate post titles, to improve searches for specific subject matter.
That said, I have read through several posts about filtration systems on surface grinders and wondered if anyone has tried reticulated foam and or spunbond polyester pre-filter media, similar to air or aquarium type filter media? Obviously I'm speaking more towards smaller shops, lacking the necessity or budget to install a high-end or complex seperation system.
I just got through cleaning what might have been ten (or more) years of slop, sludge and disgusting from our surface grinder. So before I put fresh coolant in the reservoir I thought I would add even a low budget method of prefiltration...
If anyone has tried the above mentioned let me know how it worked out? Keep in mind I'm going from absolutely nothing, in terms of pre-filter or oil seperation, to seemingly the most basic.
Thanks
