Flood Coolant Ring

[@russtuff]

Awesome! You're really making me look bad. This just reminded me that I got halfway through a similar project a couple years ago and completely forgot about it. I just found the lower half in my drawer of remnants. Now I'm going to have to get mine up and running too!

[@CNC4XR7]

Sorry Rus! Get busy.

[@craigsmachineshop2040]

Looks awesome Sam! Can't wait to see it with the new pump.

[@CNC4XR7]

thanks Craig

[@rc-cnc3431]

Awesome video Sam. Nice design Wyatt

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks! It really was well designed

[@saintb6969]

Made one of these for my Tormach a while back, works great the only thing is you will find that you don’t need as many nozzles and that they tend to get in the way of some operations.

[@CNC4XR7]

yeah I think it's possible that they're going to get into way however it being magnetic it's really easy to pull off.

[@saintb6969]

@@CNC4XR7 I also put valve before each nozzle to control the flow and which direction it was coming from. I love it other than getting in the way of a few things its awesome. When I am done with an operation there is no chip anywhere on my table or part.

I'm currently building one for my big VMC and this gives me a couple of good ideas. Great video

Thank you! Cheers!

[@helicopterjohns]

Nice project! Thanks for sharing.

[@CNC4XR7]

Your Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@banefsej]

very nice job . i have one concern that the magnets going to magnetize the spindle and that going to end up with same small electric charges throw the bearings and destroy them slowly . am not sure tho

[@CNC4XR7]

The magnets are 3mm thick, and the magnetic pull is on the flat side not really much on the edge. I think it will be fine.

[@michaelgowman1818]

Looks great! Hope you're doing well Sam!

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks! You too!

[@robinvater3067]

great Job Sam :-)

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks Robin!

[@kalebmasters5853]

How thick was your roundstock that you used?

[@CNC4XR7]

.75 for the bottom and .25 for the cap

[@gunracksonline]

cool, will you be making the plans available to purchase?

[@CNC4XR7]

No, sorry no plans as the ring was made specifically for the PM727

[@billstrahan4791]

I suggest unplugging the pump from the tube and push to connect fittings and see what the flow actually is. Those fittings and tube size are incredibly restrictive. I'll upload some video of my coolant on the Tormach with both a 1/8 and a 1/4 hp pump for comparison.

[@CNC4XR7]

Thanks Bill, The small coolant pump I started with is really meant for a Lathe setup. With it's 3 gal capacity there's not much flow. Even just from the OEM 3/8" line straight off the pump. I just finished up a new coolant pump system with filtration and wash down hose. It will post Monday still editing the video. The new system has 1/2" line to the coolant ring.

[@HoY_82]

I love it, but im curious if you can get enough flow through just a single 8mm input port? even with a bigger pump will it have the capacity to get a good flow/pressure?

[@CNC4XR7]

I have changed the input to 12.7mm or 1/2" working well now. follow up next and new coolant filter and pump.

[@HoY_82]

@@CNC4XR7 awesome!

[@stevetriton1060]

Nice work Sam! Going to make one for the X2 Mini Mill I am building with your plans I purchased from you last week!! By the way, found a bunch of places to purchase these coolant nozzles from.......can I ask where you purchased yours from?

[@CNC4XR7]

These are not cheap about $10 a piece off Amazon (30mm) amzn.to/2wm0hY4 (50mm) amzn.to/2PHJ8i9

HEY GUYS! NOZZLE INFO IN VIDEO DESCRIPTION
