My mill has the coolant tank as part of the foot casting. When I brought it home, it was full of old coolant. Inside, it looked and smelled just like a septic tank. After cleaning it out, I haven't had the heart to fill it again. The table and vise were badly rusted. > P.s: what I like on the Datron machine is the change of the direction of > the mist, depending on the milling direction.

I wonder if the .hal pid.N.output and comp.N connected to a pair of digital outputs would work? Are you familiar enough with Datron's to know if there are other air jets that automatically clean the general work area? In the video, it shows the operator opening the machine and wheeling the catch bin away from a clean work space. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
