Re: [Emc-users] motor coolant for water cooled spindles.

I would stick with water. it is cheap and has very high specific heat. It is really hard to beat water. I had a water cooling system used to cool the hot side of a thermoelectric module. I used an old 50-gallon aquarium tank as the reservoir and for a pump, I used an aquarium cartridge filter

Re: [Emc-users] motor coolant for water cooled spindles.

I wonder if Miller Industrial Supreme antifreeze/coolant would work, stock no 043 810. I use it in my TIG cooler. I bought the stuff from a local welding supply store and filled the radiator tank about 8 years ago. I never changed it (they recommend yearly). Your message prompted me to look in the

Re: [Emc-users] motor coolant for water cooled spindles.

Cu inhibits algae and should do a decent job on most bacteria. So a bit of Cu sulfate. Zn chloride and or ferrous chloride inhibits moss but the ferrous oxidizes to ferric and stains siding/concrete so use the chloride. In a pinch just use a bit of Clorox; even peroxide should do the job. If

[Emc-users] motor coolant for water cooled spindles.

I just fired up the 6040 to make a pocket for a 3mm sq nut. Noted that the coolant tank was down about an inch from evaporation, but hand hand on the tank could feel the pump buzzing so I assumed it was working. Its an 80 gallon an hour submersible, probably for aquariums and such. So I

This thing looks to be an oversized aquarium pump. A small pump like that has a lot of uses. It might be made for an air brush.At 2 liters per minute it does not move a lot of air but maybe enough to spray a fine mist. What it lacks that you shop air has it an accumulator tank and a

[Emc-users] shop air? Not No, but Heck No

I found it!! What it it? It is an air pump, diaphram type, delivering 10L of air a minute, at pressures up to 23 psi. Running on 12 volts, 1.2 amps. $6.95 a copy. To me trying to justify running my mister on shop air wasting

Hi guys and thanks for the answers, Well, modifying the soft limits in milltask would be nice but as I read in the manuals those pins can't be called from a hal file because milltask is not executed yet. So, I think my first idea of using motion.enable to stop the machine whenever a collision is
