hey guys this absolutely covers the machine every 50 mins to run the 8 parts in there
and i just leave it and come back and push a button again. swarf doesn't cause any issues and doesn't damage tooling so I leave it I could also run a spindle fan but it's not worth it. just the sheer amount of plastic coming off. we will full about 4 80 gallon drums with plastic in this job and i am trying to keep the mist down so a fan won't help that I have dust extraction systems on the cnc router but we are running high pressure coolant on this cnc mill also and a special air blast under the parts etc the plastic buildup doesn't cause a problem so it's staying like that:) If it was stainless i would do something about it cheers Andrew On Thu, Sep 11, 2025 at 4:29 AM John Dammeyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice!
