Hey everyone, figure I would get some more traction if posted in the cnc machining area vs Haas. The z Axis looks brand new, it's only the Y and X. Machine is a 2020 Haas VF2SSYT
Has anyone every experience this? If so, did you ever figure out the problem?
The 3rd picture is more worst than it looks.

- Running Qualichem 251c, sent samples of tank coolant and tap water to them. Everything is ok. Concentration stays at 9-10%, used distilled for topping off mixed with 1 oz of coolant (qualichem told me to do so). Qualichem sent a additive to try called “alum anti-stain” in case it is the coolant. Still to be determine.
- Only ever machined alum 6061
- Black stain/residue will come off with scrotchbrite and little wd40
- The little seals on the way covers come off. These seal up the matting surface of the way cover and the tab that the bolts go through to secure the cover to the table. They come off very easy, which makes me think the sealant was not sticking well to the way covers. This would suggest a oil or something on the metal
- Use permatex RTV to apply seals to both x axis and the rear Y axis. I cleaned most of it up but HFO wants to check it out.
- When I talked to the factory they mention the way covers have a zing coating. The Z axis way covers are not effect and look new.
