Flood coolant project

Also, how quick does it evaporate in 115°F ambient?

Anybody using that cutting fluid that has a refactometer?
Just wondering what the freezing temp is.

Not sure what the freezing temp is. I have the system set up so I can take the bucket into the house when the temperature dips down.

My only experience with this at work is in a 70° air conditioned environment. Some of the larger machines with a 40/45 gallon tank that run 20 hours a day may need 5 gallon of water added to the tank each day. Hope this helps.

Same I use in my lathe, and now my metal bandsaw. About 10% ratio of fluid to water works great with everything I have tried, including 6al4v Titanium.

I really need to make something like this. It looks like it'll work great for you! What's the GPH and head lift on your pump? Just out of curiosity.

Sorry for the late response thoro. The pump is a little giant model 2E-38N with 300 gph and 11.8' of lift.

I've been watching this thread close Brian. Very soon I will need to install a coolant system on the T&CG. Do you think this will work for the grinder.
