DIY Coolant Manifold for CNC Mill

[@ChristoCandiotes-e5r]

Excellent build and full of good tips. Thanks!

Looks good! Any update videos planned for the 440? Maybe showing off some parts you've made with it, and how its fitting your needs (or not).

@nomercyriding If there is interest in a video of that, I will. Are you a fellow 440 owner or perspective owner by chance?

Is that a custom made filter for the coolant tank, or purchased? If purchased, can you share the link?

[@GarageScience]

It's custom made. It's not complicated. Stainless steel mesh sandwiched between two pieces of kydex.

Looks like it works well. But why is the coolant pressure higher than before?

[@GarageScience]

The original coolant hose had a 1/4" and 1/16" nozzle. Because area increase exponentially with radius then the total area from all nozzles went from 0.0521in^2 to 0.0122 in^2. The effect of fluid flow restrictions due to friction contributes even further to the disparity. The overall volume of coolant is decreased but the pressure is increased.
