SVM 4100 - Installing Fixture and Running Proof Part

[@matthewgoergen4149]

What coolant are you running? i recently got the same machine but the techs havent come to set it up yet

Blaser B-Cool MC 600. I think it ran my about $200 for 5 gallons. I was told to r un it at 5 to 7 percent on your refractometer. It has a 1.4 multiplier so that would actually be between 7 and 10 percent. Ended up taking 5 gallons to get there. I bought 3 pales and haven't touched the other two. This still seems good after over a year. I'll probably switch it out this summer.

Im looking at the SMW fixture plate for my hurco.. cant decide between Aluminum and steel. The warning that says the aluminum will corrode scares me. Any insight on your experience? Do you have to pull the plate off a lot and clean out underneath so you dont get corrosion?

[@Rustynutsdesigns]

I replied to your other comment, but no I don't think it's a big issue. You can get corrosion between the steel plate and table as well. I used a good coating of fluid film and haven't had an issue.

What kind of parts are you making?

[@Rustynutsdesigns]

This is a shotgun optic mount, but I make a wide array of parts.

@@Rustynutsdesigns Are they your products? We are just a job shop. I’m not creative enough to make my own parts lol.
