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
