Coolant foaming issue
So, although the 690XT I got is running good in the mill. It's turning this lathe into a bathtub so quickly I can't make 1 part, after wasting all day to finally make it run ok(minus the parts catcher not catching them yet...)
I'm not sure if there's an additive to make it stop, or just switch to a different coolant? this thing has 145psi, not a ton but more than enough to make a mess... what are you guys using that doesn't give foam issues but doesn't have other issues like hard on skin, bad smell, etc?
Starting to really wonder why I got myself into this...
Edit, my water is on a softener/well(not city water), so it's possible that it is too soft and causing more foaming.
any additives to "harden it" ?
