Anyone have any experience machining Cast Iron in a CNC?
Left field thread of the day!
How do you keep the powdery chips from getting in the coolant tray and mucking everything up? I am working on a project that involves machining on a porous Titanium. (Titanium Monkey anyone?) The material is about 70% air so when we machine it we end up with a chip about the consistency of sand. This almost turns into cement when it gets into the coolant tray and settles. We are looking at a conveyer system that pumps the coolant into a holding tank and filters the coolant thru a paper media. (kinda like a 911 dry sump.) The problem is the chips still get into the coolant tank and is passed thru a pump. I would like to avoid that if possible.
Any ideas?
