Yessir. 16"-21" as it sits. Slot adjustments to account for different diameters and and widths.I assume it is adjustable for various diameters

Hey thaT looks good! I think I know my next welding project lolDuck arm worked. Adjustable for 16-21 inches again. Just got sort of the drive system now, but in tired of sparks and noise for now.
A little RTV to seal the mating surface should bring it back to an upper class redneck level lol I did deliberately leavethe inlet hole un machined as I wasn't sure what the most practical size was at the time. That will get drilled and tapped by hand to 1/2NPT for the coolant pumpDangit son, that's fancy 😎
Use it any time you mix coolant. First fill especially.I hadn't even thought of that, looks like I can get them for reasonably cheap. That's just used for the water added to the existing coolant right? not used in line to filter the coolant being run.
Yeah mist was a help versus dry and just not knowing anything, but I am ready to have flood coolant that just turns on and off as programmed. No more fiddling with the air and coolant knobs on the mister to try and get enough coolant without completely fogging out the garage lol
Cutting oil just sounds messy for a home shop, I used some old way oil to tap some holes and it got on damn near everything in the garageI run cutting oil flood so no problems with mist or rust but it does fling a lot- OTOH if inside a cnc that'd be different. You haven't lived until the flood makes it to the spinning chuck and lays a racing stripe of coolant and chips right up your chest and even inside the safety glasses
Wait, simple green? That has no place near the inside of a mill. I won't even let the guys at work use it on the outsides. Way to much risk of fucking up the coolant.I used flood, but it'd often create a mist as chips around the tool would froth it up. I kept some air moving in the bay to keep from gagging on coolant and Simple Green hanging in the air. I also used the controller's chip breaking cycles to avoid wadding chips up on the tool, but only when no one else was around. They "didn't trust the machine" to break chips, whatever that meant.
psykown - If you're only mixing a few gallons of coolant occasionally, you could use distilled water from the Piggly Wiggly until your filtration system is ready.
