Just a quick shop update and I complete the messy job of firing my coolant back up in the VMC with the warmer weather. Pump used in this video: http://amzn.to/2GB2yQ8

I installed a Reverse Osmosis system to top off my vertical machining center coolant tank with almost pure water. I also did some other upgrades and did a quick overview of past upgrades. Products used in this video: RO Complete Kit - Amazon http://amzn.to/2fwqzOJ

Machining some test 6061 aluminum with flowing coolant. Everybody is a hero in aluminum. It’s taken about a month or so to go from purchase of the VMC to actually making parts in the home shop using my “spare” time. A bit of loc-line adjustment and the tools to work with loc line. #firstchips #cncmill
