Burn: Do you have GCODE for Overclock.net? I'll slap some sheet aluminum on my mill and record the cut.

I should recommend to you, to get a small tub pan. Plastic or whatever, and make a case around the mill. As this will keep down on chips flying around and clean up. Also it works really well, after you get a liquid cooling system going in there so you can cut metal. (You ARE going to need one I hope you know)

I totally understand, I was planning one of those actually. A big tupperware tub to sit at the bottom, and then build a lexan removable cover on top of it. Tilt it slightly, and tap a drain plug at the bottom to make the coolant recyclable

I have it all planned out actually!

Smart man

We actually used a big plastic fishtank for the one at school. And just cut it to make it work.

I will get the name of the cutting fluid we used. Basically you just mix it with water and your good to go. Wasn't that pricey as well.

Kool-Mist is what many people use, which will probably be what I use

I'll probably just snipe a 5-gal bucket off my uncle's work and pay them for it, shipping must be real expensive for it.

I use a tornado cooler when I'm cutting steel (that and a brush saturated with cutting oil). I just don't want to deal with coolant mess. I would rather replace cutting bits more often.

The tornado cooler is awesome. The air coming out of the port is so cold it condenses to ice.
