Coolant system for mill and lathe for drilling large holes

Newt8411 · Nov 29, 2021

I’m looking for a set up to use on my mill to lubricate drill bits, etc for drilling large holes. Cutting oil makes such a mess. I usually weld on the material then also. But I’m wondering if I want to go with flood milling or like a mist system or is there a different system to use. I’d like to use the system on my lathe also for drilling large holes. Thanks for any info.

its messy no matter what you use........ not really anything that doesnt make a mess. just put the parts in a parts washer before welding

I like the Noga mist cooling setup, using KoolMist and a really small compressor, for general machine work. Works well "for drilling large holes", at least within a normal range of large diameters. Versatile (easily moved between mills and lathes), adjustable, economical, relatively easy cleanup. Emphasis is on general machine work - some jobs seem happier with flood or non-aqueous coolant.
