How to change coolant in your CNC // Axiom Precision CNC

[@garciarosa100]

good info. Id like to see how you connected the led lights, dont know what wires to plug the lights into.

[@motoputz3201]

im curious why you replaced the hoses? thanks

[@SouthernGinger]

Just for fun, wanted to make them a different color :)

[@motoputz3201]

@@SouthernGinger shoot man, I'd think red would been more fitting;)

[@SouthernGinger]

Or orange hehehe 😂

[@motoputz3201]

@@SouthernGinger orange …much more better!

[@SouthernGinger]

Add it to the list, maybe next time I'll make it orange hehe

[@fredsawtelle1833]

Thanks for the instructions. Why did you replace the hoses?

[@SouthernGinger]

Because I wanted them to be blue :)

[@zacharybrosious2293]

What size is the black hose? So you cycle the water through until it’s clean water coming back out into the cup?

[@SouthernGinger]

Black hose is actually a little smaller than you need but it works. 5mm internal diameter. Yup just run it until it's clean, it's not a full flush but it will work

[@ronnierobason6573]

Could you make a video showing how to use the controller to start the pump. That would help a lot.

[@SouthernGinger]

Ah yes sorry about that. You can turn the spindle speed all the way down and then manually turn the spindle on with your dsp to do that

[@ronnierobason6573]

@@SouthernGinger I may be slow but could you explain which buttons to use and sequences to start the pump.

[@SouthernGinger]

@@ronnierobason6573 there is a spindle button on the controller to start the spindle and on the actual white box (computer) you can turn down the rpms from 400 to 0

[@danielcarre7816]

Do you now why the liquid seams to be orange?

[@SouthernGinger]

I think the stock stuff has some orange in it, it's got a little antifreeze in it

[@andrewrandenburg4095]

Does it matter which hose goes on which side of the spindle? Great video

[@SouthernGinger]

Yup one is an outlet and one is an inlet.

[@micro-reefsaquariums5169]

Hi Zack, quick question my CNC arrived this month and my coolant hoses are clear as it's brand new. Wouldn't it be hard for you to see the change in oxidation as is evident from your video, now that your hoses are blue? I mean the blue hoses look awesome compared to clear but it's one point I would make in your video to make sure you check the reservoir correct for the coloration change, correct?

[@SouthernGinger]

Yup I just check the reservoir. So far it's staying pretty clear and most importantly cool. :)

[@ZacJones]

Great explanation! One day I’m hoping to make the jump and get one of these things!

[@SouthernGinger]

Hehe thank you! You can do it!!

[@johnd.sullivan5914]

I was reading the manual (I know...). It mentioned using Marine grade propylene glycol. Huh?

[@SouthernGinger]

That works as well.. I'm just different lol

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

You explain things very well. Very detailed. Thank you for sharing!

[@SouthernGinger]

Thanks Paul :)

[@SuperBulegila]

I used the hose link. Thanks

[@SouthernGinger]

Nice, blue is cool!! :)

[@TheTinkirWorkshop]

Great tips man! Is your water a particular PH because you’re running an RO process on the water? I’m actually running a synthetic anti-freeze in mine.

[@SouthernGinger]

Yeah antifreeze works just fine. No I have an Enagic machine that uses titanium plates and electricity to separate the water into alkaline and acidic streams.. it's crazy cool 11.5ph is highly alkaline and has a lubricant feel to it

[@TheTinkirWorkshop]

Southern Ginger Workshop Oh wow, that’s pretty neat. What’s your main use for something like that?

[@SouthernGinger]

Drinking water. I drink 9.5 daily and 11.5ph after workout or when I want to goto sleep haha. I can tell you all about it one day, another one of those things I do/sell on the side lol

[@robertgiltner2144]

@@SouthernGinger Not to be a nerd but anything alkaline will have a lubricant feel to it because technically it's breaking down your lipid bilayer in your skin...basically its breaking down the fats which then feels like lubrication.

[@SouthernGinger]

Ah very cool, that's how I know it's 11.5 is rub it between my fingers to see how it feels. That's not nerdy! Haha

[@christofix]

I tought i was watching the smurfs hahaha. Awsome video man! your videos are always fun to watch!

[@SouthernGinger]

Smurfs are the best!! Lol I'm just having fun :)

[@christofix]

@@SouthernGinger i had fun too watching this. It reminds me when my brothers and i played with helium... Hilarious!

[@DCDLaserCNC]

Thanks for the video man!

[@SouthernGinger]

You bet! Glad I could help

[@darrellsaturnbigfoot]

Sorry, but I’d stay with the manufacturer’s (axiom) way. I tried it your way but found the nut is very difficult to reinstall back onto the spindle. I needed to cut about 6mm off the original tube because it’s damaged from the nut, and that’s fine but then the original tube then pulls and twists as I tighten the nut back up. Just sayin.

[@SouthernGinger]

Wow thats crazy, as long as it works, there is many ways to do it :D

[@sonuverma2796]

Any chemical use with water or only simple distal water use , please guide me

[@SouthernGinger]

Yeah there is recommendations out there, distilled water I believe is fine but I think most use marine/RV antifreeze

[@sonuverma2796]

@@SouthernGinger sir I use any car suv antifreeze with distilled water

[@SouthernGinger]

@@sonuverma2796 no I don't think you should use car antifreeze, only RV and marine

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hahahahaha, I should just go to amazon and buys those without the link just to spite you. lol Ken

[@SouthernGinger]

Haha, you would! Just having fun with ya!! 🤠
