I have a job running now that makes about 35 pounds of chips per part (milled 6061) and I am drowning. Normally I scoop the machines out first thing in the morning after the coolant has drained out overnight, but with these parts I get lots of coolant on the floor from the machines (old Okuma 4020's) getting full and the coolant finding a new way out. Anyone have a low budget method to get it out and back in the coolant tanks where it is useful? I know the guy who picks the barrels up is going to start griping about them being wet and the bottom of the drums being full of coolant. How much does a pucker cost? This job is going to make about 10 55 gallon drums this month and about 5 a month for the rest of the year.
