Greetings all;
I've had the coolant tank filled with distilled water for about a month
now, and its turning the hoses faintly reddish, like copper. I don't
want to put a deionizer on it to keep it up in perfect insulation since
a bypass cartridge is a $100+ throwaway. So what sort of anti corr
I run pet safe RV antifreeze as a spindle coolant. It's sometimes also
used to freeze proof a toilet at a vacation home. It's the pink stuff
at Walmart. It's cheap, even by our standards, Gene. Don't dilute it.
Run it full strength. Nothing grows in it and unlike distilled water,
it won't dis

Total work to hand-work a thumb-hole or three will be _far_ less than
setting up and debugging a 5-axis setu

Maybe the waterless stuff:

Though there is probably no advantage in a system that really
shouldn't get anywhere near to boiling and that is not pressurised.

When I had a coolant tank, for a different purpose, I put automatic "anti
freeze in the water. It is make just for this purpose and is
non-corrosive with materials used in car engines.
Also, if the water recirculates it will eventually warm up. I put a 12
volt fan on the tank lid and made it in

Radiators are good when you need to fit the cooling system into a small
space because they are made with many small fins that are closely spaced.
But if you have the space you can get the same amount of cooling surface
area with just the surface of the water tank. I used an old aquarium for
